The drama scenes in Inglourious Basterds are amazing! It's my favorite film of all time, but even though it's a great film, Shawshank Redemption is my favorite drama film. BTW, welcome to Flickchart! I hold an event like you every day called The Daily Question on my profile page. I have 1500+ comments so it might take you a long time to scroll down.

I love both of them mate. I have actually only seen Blade Runner once, and that was about four years ago. :O I don't know where it is, but it's very high on my list. It's really impressive how good it looks, considering how old it is. Some movies now, with all their cgi don't look as good as Blade Runner.

I'm a big Tarantino fan, so Jackie Brown totally works for me. I'm also a fan of Pam Grier's 70's blaxploitation films such as Foxy Brown and Coffy. I enjoyed De Niro (my favourite actor) playing a character that wasn't cool and smart like he usually does. I loved the mall scene shot from the different perspectives.

What about you, what did you think? :)

Re: Star Wars vs Empire. I'd go Star Wars over Empire, and actually Jedi is my favorite of the three. I was six when RotJ came out and I remember seeing it in the theater seven times. It's all about nostalgia with me....not necessarily which is the "better" movie. Bottom line is....I love all three.
Now if I can make a request....see Hoop Dreams!!!! Free on Hulu right now.

Only God Forgives is such a divisive movie! I really need to see it to make up my mind because people have very different thoughts on the movie. I'm glad you liked it. :)

I'm going to also watch One False Move, which is apparently an amazingly underrated movie starring Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thorton (who also co-wrote the screenplay).

I go to the cinema (that's how we say it in Australia) four times a month. But I always squeeze them into one weekend. I live a long way from a cinema, so I wait until there is a bunch of movies to see before I go. I just watched Kick-Ass 2, Elysium, and The Way, Way Back this weekend that just finished (for me anyway).

It's been quite some years since i've seen both Fight Club and American Beauty, so I can't answer with 100% accurate. I do know I loved Fight Club, and enjoyed American Beauty. For me, Spacey makes American Beauty. While Fight Cub interested me in other ways. I would give Fight Club a 9.5/10, and American Beauty a 8/10.

Well, it has plenty of blood and death from that shootout. Was there a sex scene? I can't remember that part myself. It's been a long time since I re-watched movies.

My favorite movie director is ALFRED HITCHCOCK! Take a look at my all time favorite movies list and type in Alfred Hitchcock and you'd be surprised how many movies are high up on my list. Maybe you'll be surprised, maybe not but I love the man's work. Still, need to re-visit Vertigo so I'm pretty sure that if I love that movie, Hitchcock may be forever my favorite director.

Favorite movie quote is a tough one. It could be any piece of dialogue in Pulp Fiction or it could also be "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" That's a tough one. Favorite movie scene of all time is almost impossible to answer but I'll say either "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!", or when Superman saves Lois in Superman: the Movie (why?, because when John Williams' music bombastically plays, it just affects me man! Also, the scene is awesome!) or the truck chase in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

My favorite thing in Pulp Fiction is anything revolving around Jules but I love the entire film. I guess, its the "ENGLISH MOTHERF*CKER" scene! :)

See you around man, there's a lot of catching up to do for us

P.S: I hope you see Rear Window sometime in the future. :)

Hey, sorry about the late reply. I'm bad at checking my Flickchart profile for comments.

The Last Crusade is my favorite Indy, at #3 on my chart. I also have Raiders in my Top 20; the two are pretty comparable, I think, but Sean Connery just tips the scale in Crusade's direction.

Believe it or not Inception used to be my favorite movie, but it took a hit on my last viewing. I plan to watch it next week and I expect it to go up a few places.

Return of the Jedi is actually my favorite Star Wars film...it always has been. I think it is the perfect end to the trilogy. If the third installment of a trilogy is fantastic it is usually my favorite. The Dark Knight Rises is my favorite as is Return of the King. I guess I'm a sucker for closers, Ha Ha.

Pulp Fiction- The ending scene ("I think we should be leaving Jules." "Yeah, that's probably a good idea.")

The Dark Knight Rises- the last scene (it is just so emotional, and the perfec end to the trilogy)

The Dark Knight- the last scene (A silent guardian, a watchful protector, a dark knight.)

Return of the King- the part when they get to Mt. Doom and destroy the ring.

Return of the Jedi- The entire Death Star throne room sequence (the final confrontation between Luke, the Emperor, and Darth Vader.)

Hey man, am I allowed to ask a question that you and others can answer? I'm not aware of it. My question is, what are your least favorite movies from your favorite directors!

It must be noted that I need to re-watch several films. There will be one absolute shocker but I'm getting around to it soon.

1) Hitchcock: Spellbound, Vertigo
2) Tarantino: Death Proof
3) Speilberg: Schindler's List, (never understood it when I first saw it. I didn't care for films as much then so yeah...), Indy 4 (don't hate it, enjoy it a bit actually)
4) Nolan- Dark Knight Rises (don't really care for it!)

Thanks for the contribution man! Yeah, Death Proof sucks, Vertigo I actually love but I could understand why somebody doesn't like it. TDKR is the weakest of Nolan's trilogy, and Schindler's List I love. I would say:

1) Nolan: Insomnia (Even though I liked it a lot, it's Nolan's worst. Not that that's saying much)
2) Tarantino: Kill Bill Volume 1 (Hated it, loved Volume 2 though!)
3) Scorcese: The Aviator (Boring as hell)

THE LORD OF THE RINGS FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING! The opening minute of that movie changed my life two years ago. Howard Shore's music affects me so much and everything about those films is so fricking awesome. The prologue to FoTR, Gandalf's death and the awesome Bridge of Khazad-dum theme as well as Boromir's ultimate sacrifice changed my life.

I would also say that 12 Angry Men changed my view of films. The original Godfather to some extent too though!

I will answer the questions I missed.

Dumb and Dumber, and Vampire's Kiss are my favourite comedies.

I prefer Django Unchained, but it's a close one.

My favourite is Raiders

Childhood favourites (what I watched on VHS the most) are Jurassic Park, Dumb and Dumber, Milo & Otis, Wind in the Willows, Quigley Down Under, The Beverly Hillbillies, E.T, Yogi Bear's Great Escape, Dennis the Menace, and the two Home Alone movies.

Toy Story 3 is my favourite.

I think it was Milo & Otis that made me love movies. It is actually the first movie I ever remember seeing. I would guess that I was five when I got taken to the drive-in to watch it. What an experience! I still remember how I laughed, felt sad, and was scared at this movie. The movie really drew me in, even at that age.

Star Wars would be my 2nd fav had Jedi being stronger. A lot of people adore it (JC13 and basically everyone of my Flickchart friends) but I have quite a few issues.

Please man, don't think I'm being cool by shitting on the film, I just don't like it. I happen to not think it's a masterpiece, its decent imo. I hope you didn't address that comment to me!

Oh no, I wasn't saying you at all. I just mean when it came out, people thought it would be cool to hate on it. And Jedi may have a few problems, but at the end of the day, nostalgia wins over. Hope everything is going well for you!

I agree that The Dark Knight Rises and Return of the Jedi are underrated, in fact they both happen to be my favorites of their series. I hate the people that call me an idiot for liking them. If you just don't like the movie, that's fine, but don't call me an idiot for liking them. That is why SLionsCricket is my homie, cause even though we disagree about those particular movies, I don't call him an idiot and he doesn't call me one. :) we both just agree to disagree.

I will squeeze back in here! :D Seems to be some talk about my favourites! :D The Dark Knight is the clear favourite, yes, but TDKR is my number 2! So you can just see how much I love that movie. :D However, I'm not one of these lame fanboys (*cough* squaremaster *cough*, *cough* yellowjacket *cough*) who attacks anyone who says anything bad about the films. To be honest, I don't give a shit. :D I have more important things to think about. No, I'm not saying any of you guys are attacking the film, I'm just talking in general here. :)

Dinelka, I don't think Robbie was addressing the comment to you. I think it was just in general, like I did above. :) Am I right Robbie? :)

You are correct! I love the trilogy so much, all 3 are so strong in their own ways. The Dark Knight surprised me the most seeing that it was the sequel to one of my favorite movies at the time, so I didn't think it would be nearly as good. Perhaps that's why it's my favorite.

Thanks man, you have some great classics in your top 20. Good to see Fincher's masterpieces in there.

As for the 1987 Predator, I think it's decent at best. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of John McTiernan (I don't get the appeal of Die Hard, to be honest). But Predator is fairly entertaining, and it as a pretty good climax. I don't have the love for it as a lot of other people do, but I enjoyed it. Schwarzenegger wasn't that great, in my opinion.

Yeah, I love the first two Godfather films and to be honest I love the third one as well, just not nearly as much. I switch back and forth between 1 and 2 as my favorite. As you can see from the order of my list I prefered 1 on my last viewing. I plan to watch them again soon. I completely agree with everything you said about them. I also think Pacino gives a better performance than Brando and he is even better in Part II. I would argue that they are probably the two greatest films of all time, but not quite my favorites. They are perfect in my eyes.

I just love the last 30 minutes of The Godfather where Michael Corleone consolidates his power. What's so brilliant about it is that it isn't portrayed as Michael "rising up," rather it is him "falling." The story is a tragedy and Coppola showed it as such. It's not quite my favorite movie of all time but, being objective, it probably is the greatest film ever made.

RE: Predator. Easily my favorite Arnie movie. I was 10 when it came out, and I was actually scared to death to see it. Back then gore really bothered me...so I would ask all my friends about the deaths, plot, etc....so it just built up to this awesome experience before I ever saw it. Once I finally did....loved it of course. I love the idea of the creature picking the commandos off one by one....basically imitated in hundreds of movies since. Just a great movie...and it stands up well even 26 years later.

Hey there, started going through the old classics like Rebecca and The Great Escape? Good stuff! And in-between a solid new movie like Dredd, can't get any better.

If you're looking for something similar to The Great Escape, I'd suggest Stalag 17, it's a comedy but a damn fine one! Or another POW movie, Rescue Dawn, with Christian Bale and (belive it or not) Steven Zahn.

Don't really have a top 5 I guess but here goes!

1) Star Trek Into Darkness
2) Monsters Uni
3) Man of Steel (I guess, still feels disappointing!)
4) World War Z (surprisingly good yet a bit of a let down by the end)
4) probably Despicable me 2

Most anticipated

--Desolation of Smaug (though I can't say I'm over the moon!)
--Wolf on Wall Street (looking forward)
and probably
--Don Jon

Some movies the Americans get I won't because I'm in Australia, where we get ripped off all the time on release dates.

Nice to see The Conjuring on your list! That's a brilliant horror film. I just picked up Star Trek: Into Darkness on Blu-Ray and enjoyed it more than I did the first time in theaters. Iron Man 3 was fantastic, surpasses 2 but Iron Man is easily the best of the trilogy. The Way, Way Back was pretty good! And Man of Steel was a great movie, although I do agree with most critics in saying it was an action overload at times.

I can't wait for all of those! Have you heard of Don Jon with Joseph Gordon-Levitt? It's coming out soon. The Hobbit 2 is looking to be better than the first if were comparing the trailers. Thor 2 will be better than Thor unless it's horrible, because I really disliked Thor. The Wolf of Wall Street and The Counselor will not disappoint, considering they both have great directors working on the film.

And that sucks. I've heard of that release date problem, apparently it's in other countries as well. You should move to America haha!

And those movies you need to re-watch are all masterpieces. Vertigo and Citizen Kane are all time favorites of mine, even though they are both lingering around 100-150 on my list. Rear Window is Hitchcock's best film in my opinion.

Yeah, I've head of Don Jon, but I'm limited to five movies, so it didn't make the cut. I'm not sure if it comes out in Australia. It'll probably be a January or February release.

You can't wait for all those? Have you heard of The Turning? I will be impressed if you have. :)

Not having a go, but I don't think I would suit America. :)

I think I need to see Citizen Kane the most of the films I listed because it really didn't work for me at all!

It's a three hour Australian movie with 17 short stories from 17 different directors based off author Tim Winton. So, it's pretty hard to judge if it's for you, probably not. It's going to be a unique cinema experience for me because it has an intermission halfway through. The main reason I want to see it because my cousin is in it, so I'm biased. :)

Half way during last month, I planned a month of Horror project for October! Until then, no marathons but there is a list of movies that I need to re-visit over these upcoming school holidays. I wanna have a Nolan marathon but a Speilberg one even more, but he has too many movies to get through that I won't be able to finish all of them before October, so maybe during November or December!! Until then, I guess no marathons.

Anything you got planned? Seems like Empire is your favourite again! Did you re-watch it or was it just a change of mind?

It pulled me in, and was extremely interesting. About to re-watch some old 90's action films like The Rock, Con Air and Point Break.

Well, Braveheart is #2 on my list, but it actually probably be #3 or #4 behind Jedi and maybe Shawshank. I know Gibson took some liberties in telling the story, but I simply love everything about it. Acting, scenery, story, the music...just blew my mind upon first viewing. Heat is simply my favorite Heist movie ever. I don't really consider it an actual "action" movie, but if it was...it's right there with Die Hard. Heat has it's holes too...but the best movies, at least for me, are experiences...something I'll never forget. Both Braveheart and Heat qualify....

I'm in Year 11 and boy, watching movies is getting harder and harder :) Still, giving it my best!

I re-watched TTT yesterday----FRICKING LOVED IT! Moved from 5 to 2 on my list! Left me speechless by the end. Watching RoTK now!!!

Dr. Strangelove was quite entertaining for the most part, nothing really wowed me about the film like it does for others but it was quite enjoyable. :)

OMG, don't you dare get me started on Fellowship!! Mesmerizing :) Jackson's attention to detail is immaculate!! Such an amazing film. The score, my word! That music is probably some of the greatest ever!

Finished Disk 1 of RoTK extended edition. Damn awesome!!

I re-watched The Lion King and boy, I thought it had enough to make it to my 3rd favourite. RoTK might take that today but I kinda hope it doesn't. I don't like having the LoTR trilogy at 1, 2 and 3 if you know what I mean!

Good luck with LoTR. I started it late 2 days ago, finishing it this afternoon :D Plan to then watch films I didn't initially like as well as maybe 2 more Hitchcock films. :)

Fellowship will probably still be my favourite :D A lot of people here do prefer it over the King!

I've never actually seen Ferris Bueller or Rocky. The Sixth Sense is a great thriller with plenty of suspense. Cuckoo's Nest is fantastic featuring amazing performances all around. A very entertaining film.

The last couple of days I've been trying to get more Hitchcock films off my list of shame.

Woops, no idea what happened but

Fellowship----Mind blowing in every aspect

TTT- Under-estimated just how brilliant this film is. Serkis, McKellen, Mortensen and Christopher Lee give the strongest performances. Seriously tell me what you think of these four actors and their performances :) The first half hour introduces every story element perfectly and the Battle of Helm's Deep is mind blowing!!!

RoTK- The PERFECT conclusion for any trilogy/franchise. Almost no fault with the film at all, just unbelievable!! The action scenes are killer awesome, the story wraps up perfectly and I LOVE the "never ending" endings! Serkis shines in this film even more. In fact, Disc 1 of RoTK is so briskly paced in my opinion that it makes Disc 2 even better. That sounded odd but really, the whole film is paced perfectly. Best 4 hours of my life :D

How's LoTR going for you?

I'm re-watching Citizen Kane and Predator today, both classics I initially didn't enjoy. Tomorrow would probably be Cuckoos Nest! :)

Wow, looks like TTT and ROTK have really made a jump on your list :D

My thoughts on The Matrix are: Awesome movie, visually spellbinding. Well directed, great action sequences and an awesome story! 10/10

Ferris Beuller's Day Off- Good fun film, great moments but also moments that aren't that special. 7/10

Rocky- Great protagonist written, well paced, good enough story and well executed. Not the biggest fan of Rocky but still.... 7/10

Now, Predator tonight. Speaking of Rocky, I'll try to re-watch Raging Bull before the start of October. Have you got a Horror-a-thon planned for next month?

Man, you have some of the best questions!!

1. Tombstone: Holiday vs. Ringo:

In a gunfight to death, Ringo expects to meet Earp there, but out of the shadows, Holiday appears!!!

Holiday: "I'm your huckleberry. Why Johnny Ringo, you look like somebody just walked over your grave."

OMG, that's one of the coolest lines in cinema history.


2. Few Good Men: Kaffee vs. Jessep

Kaffee: *I want the truth!*

Col. Jessep: *You can't handle the truth!*

[pauses]

Col. Jessep: "Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinburg? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post..."

You could cut the tension with a knife!!!


3. Apocalypse Now: Kilgore and Lance

Kilgore: "Smell that? You smell that?"

Lance: "What?"

Kilgore: "Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that."

[kneels]

Kilgore: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like..."

[sniffing, pondering]

Kilgore: "...victory. Someday this war's gonna end."

[suddenly walks off]

Epic!!!

RE: Riddick. I definitely enjoyed it more than Chronicles. It was essentially the same thing as Pitch Black, they just simply went back to what worked. Chronicles was undone by the bizarre decision to make a PG-13 movie...the dude is a rated R character. Overall, it wasn't mind blowing or anything new...but I really enjoyed it.

Hey man, I feel like simply giving you my favourite Hitchcock film doesn't feel like I'm giving the man justice. He's my favourite director of all time.

Hitchcock's top 10 films are in my top 50 (3 of these I've seen twice, the rest once each)

1. Rear Window at 16
2. North by Northwest at 25
3. Vertigo at 33
4. Rebecca at 39
5. Dial M for Murder at 40
6. The 39 Steps at 41
7. Notorious at 44
8. Psycho at 45
9. The Lady Vanishes at 49
10. Rope at 50

Then there's

11. Strangers on a Train at 55
12. Shadow of a Doubt at 56
13. Young and Innocent at 68

I just thought I'd let you know. Suspicion is okay in my opinion. Not really a fan. It's around 170 on my Flickchart but I guess it could be lower!

Yesterday, I finished my 20th Hitchcock film and now I'm uncertain on what Hitchcock film to watch next.

I've just seen two amazing films. Gravity and Don Jon. I'd give Gravity a 9/10. it's my 2nd favorite film of the year so far. And I'd give Don Jon 8.4/10, thought it was excellent, but not for everyone. I recommend both for sure though!

Prisoners was spectacular. Gravity was also spectacular, my 2nd favorite of the year behind Star Trek: Into Darkness. Don Jon was a great film that tackled deep subject matter. Here's my Top 10 of the year so far:

1. Star Trek: Into Darkness
2. Gravity
3. The World's End
4. Man of Steel
5. Iron Man 3
6. This is the End
7. Prisoners
8. The Wolverine
9. Rush
10. Don Jon

Yep, E.T does pass The Lion King. I've seen The Lion King 4 times and E.T twice. My second viewing absolutely left me speechless. I thought long and hard. After I re-watched it, I placed it at #14 but the more and more I contemplated that decision, the more and more I felt I love it more and more. In fact, I might have to give the edge to E.T over The Two Towers. The day after re-watching E.T, I knew I had no choice but to re-watch Raiders because it was dropping. I thought to myself, if I like Raiders a little less, then I prefer E.T over it but nah, Raiders blew me away. Back to #2! :)

E.T is awesome! :) Now Psycho is in my top 10 after a re-watch. My favourite horror film all of a sudden and did a mighty fine job in becoming my favourite Hitchcock film! :)

I'll put reviews of Raiders and Psycho in the next few days...wait, I already posted Raiders an hour ago!! :)

Yeah, Psycho is just amazing! Those twists are incredibly well concealed and executed! The suspense, the atmosphere, the cinematography and Anthony Perkins are just incredible!!!

Hitchcock is most definitely, absolutely positively my favourite director! I've seen 20 of his films, I think about 13 of them are in my top 60 and out of all of them, Psycho edges to the top now! That might change when I re-visit North by Northwest next month but Psycho comfortably for now! :)

I just LOVE Lord of the Rings! Easily my favourite trilogy. I also LOVE Empire and Star Wars but forgive me, I am not that much of a fan of Return of the Jedi. I just don't find it especially good. It pales in comparison to the previous two and even to avoid comparisons, it just doesn't satisfy me. Sorry man! :)

I know a lot of people who LOVE Jedi, my good friend JC13 has it at #2 but I just find it somewhat dull. Apart from the stuff with Vader, the Emperor and Luke, everything else is either stupid or repetitive to me.

I have no idea why I prefer Two Towers to Return of the King...NO IDEA! The way that the entire film builds up to the Helm's Deep battle is incredible and I LOVE each bit of character development in the film. I love everything about Return of the King though I'll give the edge to TTT because of the final battle and the amazing character development

I didn't watch nearly as many movies as a child compared to now. Most of the movies I watched as a child are very "kiddie", so bear with me.

Pretty much any of the classic Christmas cartoon movies always take me back:

Rudolph
Frosty
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Charlie Brown Christmas
Santa Claus Is Coming to Town
The Year Without Santa
The Life and Adventures of Santa

Aside from holiday movies, I'd have to say:

The Wizard of Oz
The Sword in the Stone
Dumbo
Charlotte's Web

More changes to your top 10! Nice! :D

Yeah, its been a while since I've seen robmoviefilms13 on Flickchart and seeing as he was the first person on Flickchart to talk to me, I felt it only appropriate to tell him about Letterboxd. And yes, I was surprised at how many reviews he's already posted! 15!!

I did watch ALL the Home Alone films when I was around 10 and I'll probably get around to the first two later this year though seeing as how I'm Buddhist, we don't celebrate Christmas but still, good fun movies! :) Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a movie I've yet to see and must get around to

Believe it or not, I've now seen Raiders 7 times since the end of last year (which was my first viewing of it) and the first time, I wasn't pleased at all. The second viewing, I came to enjoy it much more but was still disappointed in ways. The third viewing made me start to really enjoy the film as a whole and every subsequent viewing of the film made me love it more and more more!!

I'll definitely get around to your Jaws review :D

I saw your question about what movies make me feel like I'm experiencing childhood again the other day. I need a bit of clarifications. Do you mean movies I watched when I was younger? Or movies I watched as an adult that make me feel like I'm experiencing childhood?

I need to think about what movies give me a good scare as well. I'm not easily frightened.

No movies truly scare me today. There are those horror movies today that gets all quiet and then BAM!!! Some loud sound abruptly appears out of nowhere. But that's more annoying than truly scary. So I'll just list my 3 favorite films that belong to the horror genre:

1. Psycho
2. Alien
3. Jaws

Now as a kid, there were movies that did indeed truly scare me:

1. The Exorcist
2. Poltergeist
3. The Amityville Horror (the original one)

As I mentioned earlier, today's horror movies don't genuinely scare you, but they do use the jump-scare tactics. Again, most of them are more annoying and predictable than scary, but there are some that I actually enjoyed but really don't have much desire to watch them again:

1. The Ring (the first one)
2. Scream (the first one)
3. Mirrors (the first one)
4. Insidious (the first one)
5. Jeepers Creepers (the first one)

Thanks man! I can't say a single bad thing about your top 10. All 10 are masterpieces as far as I'm concerned. It's great to see someone with similar taste in movies.

I definitely want to see Blade Runner, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. I'm currently in the middle of a Kubrick marathon. I'll probably watch Eyes Wide Shut tonight and Barry Lyndon tomorrow. After that I'll rewatch 2001, Dr. Strangelove, and A Clockwork Orange. Yesterday I rewatched Inception and today I rewatched Raiders. Tomorrow I'll watch Temple of Doom and Last Crusade the next day.

Nearly Saturday here. I watched Welcome to the Punch, which I thought was average. It's one of those movies that assumes it will get a sequel (*cough* The Losers* cough*) so it's ending is unsatisfying. I just watched Ugetsu, and also Project Nim. I gave both 5/5 on Letterboxd. I think I will watch Intermission and maybe The Public Enemy next.

I've seen six Kubrick's. I can't believe you ranked 2001 that low! That's his masterpiece if you ask me. The most deeply profound film I've ever seen. I guess it shouldn't surprise me though as most people either absolutely love it or absolutely hate it. There's really not much in between with it. It's my personal favorite from Kubrick though.

1. 2001: A Space Odyssey
2. Dr. Strangelove

You all have named all of my favorite De Niro flicks except two: Cape Fear and Righteous Kill.

Cape Fear is the most underrated and forgotten De Niro flick out there. It's a great movie! I personally love it because it was actually a different role for De Niro and showed us that he is actually versatile. He proved that he can do more than be a tough guy with ties to the mafia. I had to get used to his southern accent in Cape Fear, but he really pulled it off wonderfully. Great movie. Need to see it if you haven't.

Righteous Kill is one of those movies that folks just love to hate on. I thought it was very good. Is it as good as Heat? No. Goodfellas? No. Casino even? Umm... no. But it's still a very good movie nonetheless.

HM:
-Gravity (it'd be my number as it hasn't been released where I live, but it's already out in most places so it doesn't really count)
-The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug (I actually liked the first Hobbit film, except for its unforgiving, lengthy runtime and I'm hoping the sequel will be an overall improvement. Plus, I love Lord of the Rings, so I'll probably enjoy it)
-American Hustle
-Out of the Furnace

I heard that The Wolf of Wall of Street's runtime was too long, so they're having to cut it down and apparently its release date is being pushed back due to this.
Does anyone know if it will be postponed or will the original release date be kept?

Re: Hoosiers. Yeah, it's ahead of Die Hard, Gump, etc...probably because they haven't gone head to head yet. I would definitely take Gump and Empire over it...but I'd still probably take Hoosiers over Die Hard. They key fact is that I grew up in Indiana...playing high school basketball. So it definitely has a special place in my heart.

The Lion King- Hiding from your problems doesn't solve them
Shawshank Redemption- Hope can be found in even the dimmest of places and there is not just hope, but friendship lurking in the darkest of corners
Rear Window- It's okay to spy on neighbors if you think they've killed someone (LOL, jks!)

My biggest problem with Pacific Rim was the characters. I don't care about or connect with a single one of them! Overall the film was still entertaining, but it could have been so much more.

Yeah I'm having a little mini Spielberg marathon. Believe it or not that was my first viewing of ET and Jaws! I plan to watch Schindler's List and also rewatch Saving Private Ryan (I've only seen it once).

Sorry Robbie, I have been very tired from work this week. I keep missing your questions. But, i will make up for it now.

The movie with a strong message for me was Tokyo Story. It really made me think how I could go see my nana more often.



I think The Way, Way Back has potential to become a relaxing movie for me, we'll see. Um, it's probably not any classics like Indy or Taxi Driver (too switched on when watching). If I'm really want to be relaxed, movies like Home Alone, Vampire's Kiss, Dumb and Dumber would work for me.

It's either the 70's or 90's for me I feel for my favourite dcade.

I loved Rush! The rivalry was great, and I loved the scenes in the rain. It also helped that I didn't know anything about the real story. I had a great weekend for movies. Prisoners, Gravity, and Rush were all from four to five stars for me.

Do you listen to podcasts? There is a great one from Canada called the Film Junk podcast that I listen to weekly. :)

I plan to watch quite a few actually. But none are in the cinemas. You see, I live a long way from a cinema, so I pack them all in a weekend. :) I want to see Silver Bullet, Salt of the Earth, They Were Expendable, The Bad and the Beautiful, Spider Baby, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, and Body Heat. :) Not so sure how successful I will be watching them all, but I will try. Many of them are movies I wouldn't of watched before (e.g They Were Expndable, Salt of the Earth, The Bad and the Beautiful) I'm trying to expand the type of films I watch.

I hope you like the Film Junk podast. It takes some people a few eps to get used to the guys. But they really are funny when you listened to them for a while. Slionscricket also listens to the premium eps. I personally don't want to use my credit card over the Internet to buy an ep, even if it's 99c! :D I'm not very trusting of technology you see. There was actually a guy that lost two million dollars off an Internet scam not too far away from where I live.

Yep, I have to choose. But it's usually at the end of the month, so I don't have too much worries. Sometimes I'm too late and the movies are already gone! Such as The World's End, that only lasted about two weeks in Australia before it was gone. The movie I missed out on this trip was Two Guns, which I wasn't really worried about. I much preferred watching Gravity twice. Plus the prices are ridiculous Robbie. It's $19 for a normal ticket, and $26 for an IMAX ticket! That doesn't include the $12 for a drink and popcorn. How about Canada Robbie, the prices decent in cinemas up there? Or do you call them theatres up there? :)

I'm loving the month of horror, having such a great time that I'm watching horror movie after horror movie. On the weekend, I watched 2 horror films from the 40s back to back. It's been a ton of fun! Never seen AMC Fear Fest though I've got a few sites from where to check what films I might see. I torrent every SINGLE movie!

I'm glad you enjoyed Kick-Ass 2. I'll probably re-watch it as soon as it comes on Blu-ray but I did not enjoy Pacific Rim. It had some fun action but when the film strays away from the action, it is dull to me. The characters, story, script and direction all fell apart for me. I wasn't blown away by the action scenes but I really enjoyed most though the best parts of the film were the visuals and Idris Elba, probably the only good performance alongside Ron Pearlman who was also great. I'll actually post a Letterboxd review soon!

I've hit a few horror classics. Psycho, Alien, The Thing, Nightmare on Elm Street, Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, Nosferatu, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Dracula 1931, Freaks, The Wolf Man, Cat People and a couple of others. I'm trying my best to re-watch as little as possible and watch as many as possible for a first viewing. Halloween is a definite re-watch on Halloween and I'll probably also re-watch Silence of the Lambs because I missed something the first time. Otherwise, everything would probably be first time watches. I'll also probably end up re-watching The Exorcist by the end of the year but not during this marathon.

Great to see you having an Indy-thon! :) My love for Raiders grew ages ago but my love for Last Crusade mainly grew on my previous viewing. I was just in awe the whole time! I was more numbed to the story, acting, music and characters in Last Crusade and Raiders than anything in Pacific Rim. That's how I felt about the latter! :)

When I go to the theatre I usually get a soda or just some water, so I won't get dehydrated. I don't always get popcorn because it's expensive to get on top of a drink and ticket. However, I'll normally be wanting to concentrate on the film and not bother with eating something.

The Departed is my favorite Scorsese film and its in my top 30. It's pretty damn near perfect in my opinion.

The Social Network was great, but kinda overrated. It's towards the bottom of my Fincher rankings.

I haven't seen Moneyball.

1. Inception is one of my 10 favorite movies of all time and my favorite Chris Nolan movie (my favorite filmmaker).

2. In the past 4-5 months, The Social Network has risen from about #60 in my rankings to around #30. The movie gets better the more times I see it.

3. I'm a big fan of baseball, so Moneyball also one of my top 10 favorites.

4. The Departed is my favorite Martin Scorsese movie, even though I wouldn't call it his best (GoodFellas and Taxi Driver are better).

Indiana Jones is DEFINITELY NOT my favorite trilogy. It's in my top three, my favorites are obviously Lord of the Rings (All three of them are in my top 5!) and then Toy Story, followed by Indy.

I love Raiders so much! :) Temple of Doom is kinda annoying at times now but still great fun and Crusade really brings Indy home perfectly

Fav scenes:

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK

-Truck chase action scene
-Airplane fight with big Nazi
-The entire opening 10 minutes
-Indy's introduction
-Marion getting into the basket and going to a place full of baskets
-Indy pausing just before getting the Idol (btw, not to be naggy that wasn't the Ark! :P)
-Exposition with Government guys about the Ark
-Intro to Marion
-The bar scene from when Indy's shadow emerges onto the wall to when the bar scene is over
-Map scene
-Discovering the Ark
-Shooting the Swordsman
-"Bad dates!"
-"A British Tar is a Souring Soul!"
-Katanga and co discovering Indy climbing onto the Nazi boat!
-Meeting the evil spirits of the Ark
-"I HATE SNAKES JOCK!"
-Final scene in the warehouse
-Indy then leaving the museum and meeting Marion
-End credits with Johnny Williams' music :D
-Talking to Belloq in the bar
-Toht stopping Marion's escape from Belloq and the whole coathanger thing!
-Finding the Well of Souls!

That's all I can think of for now but Raiders is endlessly genius!

TEMPLE OF DOOM

(not many now but still a good fun film that I'd rather not watch as much now)

-Opening 15 minutes with Lao Che
-Indy beating up the Indian guy and Short Round beating up the Maharajah :)
-Dinner scene
-John Williams' Temple of Doom theme
-Pulling out the guy's heart and dipping him into fire!

LAST CRUSADE

-Opening 10 minutes
-John Williams' Brotherhood of the Crucifont Sword, Holy Grail and Cross of the Coronado themes are incredible!
-Sean Connery...PERIOD!
-Intro to Henry Jones Sr. in the Nazi Camp
-Tank action scene
-Escaping the Nazi castle on motorbike
-Holy Grail trials!
-Final scene
-The Zeppelin "no tickets scene"
-Getting Hitler's autograph
-When Henry Sr says "Yes, we did have a rather good time" or whatever when Elsa is talking to Indy! :) Ha ha

That's all from Crusade for now, I could basically point out every single scene from Raiders! :)

But Indiana Jones is definitely not my favorite trilogy! :)

Re: Philadelphia. Absolutely, very good flick. Amazing how dated it feels already. Probably because of the shift in societal opinion of HIV/AIDS. Hanks hit a home run. Nothing major on the radar at the moment. Definitely hoping to see The Conjuring and The Way, Way Back here soon. And of course Thor in the theater in a couple of weeks...

I did see Inception in theatres, but I wasn't into films back then so I didn't appreciate it a load. I wish I was because I'd love to see something like it now in theatres and I don't think there will be for some time.

How about you? I'd like to know what your favourite theatre experiences have been, if you don't mind.

Funny you mention that, Inception would be my pick for first place. It was amazing to see in theatres, it was just so new and original. Nolan was my favorite director at the time, so it was amazing. Some others would be The Dark Knight Rises, Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness and Man of Steel. All of the films you mentioned are amazing, glad you had the chance to see them in theatres.

I can still picture the horrible scenes from that movie. Oh, another really disturbing movie is Martyrs! It's this French horror movie. I enjoyed 3/4 of this movie, but it kicks you in the nuts repeatedly at the end. There is nowhere to hide on the screen, it's just drawn out, and disturbing. Oh, I keep remembering movies! Taxidermy! Now, I walked into that movie with no knowledge of what it was about! Godamn, think of what something bad that can happen with a taxidermist? Well, you're probably way off to the shit that happens in this movie. Oh, and something with a candle that made me want to run screaming out of the room. ;)

I did enjoy Star Trek Into Darkness, gave it 4/5 stars on Letterboxd, so I think it’s better than what Flickchart suggests. It is also one of favourites of the year.

I've only seen 10 movies that were released this year and I have also yet to see Gravity, Prisoners and a few other great movies from 2013, but this is my top 5 of the year, nevertheless.

1. Captain Phillips
2. The World’s End
3. Star Trek Into Darkness

5. Only God Forgives (you probably think I'm crazy for choosing this)

Thanks. Your top 50 is great too. I am a huge fan of him mainly because no 2 films of his are the same, yet every film of his has a Kubrickian tone and feeling to it. I still haven't seen all his movies though.I have seen The Shining and unfortunately I was disappointed by it, maybe because I saw it on my computer screen and everyone has been telling me that my next viewing on TV should be way better because the cinematography plays a big part in the movie. I really hope so. I have seen The Matrix many times, but I still need another viewing to be sure of its place on my list. Indeed, Jaws is very underrated.

It really is. Although I have only seen it just once and it is #1 only because it is the one movie that made me love films. Yeah Travis Bickle is 90% of the reasons that I love the movie so much. He is my favorite character. Very awesome that it is in your top 10. Some other ones would be: Tyler Durden in Fight Club, Alex DeLarge in A Clockwork Orange, Vito and Michael Corleone in Godfather I & I. What would be some of yours?

Yeah they all are great. Some of my favorite directors are (not in order, I honestly can't place one above the other):
Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, Francis Ford Coppola, Terrence Malick, David Fincher, Sergio Leone. Christopher Nolan used to be my favorite director but after rewatching some of his films lately, I don't consider him one of my favorites anymore, I definitely understand why anybody would love him though.

Yeah, we should. I have one question for you if you don't mind: What advice would you give to someone who wants to start a Blu-Ray collection?

Basic genres such as action, drama, and adventure are so hard to establish as most movies have characteristics of multiple genres. For instance, LOTR is fantasy, but you can't tell me TTT and ROTK isn't loaded with action. Same with Aliens. It's sci-fi but loaded with action. So, some of the ones I list may have elements of other genres mixed in, but there's no denying that they have tons of action as well.

1. LOTR Trilogy
2. Inception
3. TDK Trilogy
4. Terminator 1 & 2
5. Aliens
6. The Bourne Trilogy
7. Gladiator
8. Taken
9. Speed
10. True Lies

Pulp Fiction is my favorite film of all time. I don't really remember the first time I watched it all the way through. My brother showed me most of The Gold Watch and The Bonnie Situation so a while later I watched it all the way through and loved it. It didn't immediately become my #1, but after only a couple viewings it became one of my all time favorites. After that it kind of just waited for all the films around it to fall so it could claim the top spot. It is the only film that has remained in my top 5 ever since I started ranking my movies! It is easily one of the most, if not the most, rewatchable films for me. I can watch it pretty much any time and still love very minute. I saw it the first time about 2 1/2 years ago and since then I've seen it 15-20 times! I honestly don't see it ever being replaced as my favorite movie.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. I remember my first experience of the movie pretty well and even what was happening that evening. It was almost a year ago and I was just put on the edge of my seat with excitement so much. No movie has ever done that so much to me and that is why it is number 1 on my list. Everything about The Good, the Bad and the Ugly was amazing.
I have said that The Good, the Bad and Ugly was a very powerful movie experience, but I'm not sure if it'll be my number forever, but I also have no idea what It would change to.

Vertigo is my favorite film of all time. When I first saw Vertigo, it totally blew me away. The score is the most impactful I've ever heard! The background music effectively tells you how to think in feel throughout the entire movie. The plot is as rich as I've seen in a movie. The acting is top notch. The cinematography is incredible, and the scenery is dreamy. The movie put me in a trance. Really, after I saw it, I immediately watched it again. This may sound unbelievable, but I watched Vertigo 10 times in one month. If there's anyone who hasn't seen, please go watch it. And if you've seen it once, please go watch it again as it only gets better with each viewing.

Yo man! Checkin' out Thor on Sunday. Can't wait. Liked both Stand Up Guys and Shutter Island, but can't really say I loved either. Good to see those three legends together on Stand Up Guys...but the story was just average IMO. I did really enjoy Shutter Island, but prefer a lot of other Scorcese movies. I also just recently saw The Big Chill and Hangover III...meh with both. How about The Conjuring? See that yet?

Nice choices man. I also love them all. Yeah, those movies are in my top 5 largely because of the characters.

I actually didn't like Memento that much on a first viewing. I was mesmerized by it on my second though. I have no idea how it will live up to repeated viewings though. I hope I love it even more. On my second viewing I kept thinking to myself: how didn't I understand this on my first viewing; how come I thought of this like that on my first viewing. Definitely an amazing film in my opinion.
Prestige was mindblowingly amazing on my first viewing. I have tried rewatching it but it just doesn't pull me in anymore. I haven't given up on it though.
I still find new minor stuff on Inception every time I watch it, but I enjoy it less and less every time.
Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises need to be rewatched. Dark Knight blew me away and was my favorite movie for the 18 times I watched it. The 19th viewing was very, very disappointing though. Dark Knight rises blew me away on the theaters but I really really disliked it the second time. Actually I plan on having a Batman marathon soon.

Terrence Malick is amazing. I still need to see 5 ovies of him that I haven't seen.

Thanks for the tip, I highly appreciate it. Although I don't think I have a movie that I can watch over and over and over though. Too bad. Also do you buy a Blu-Ray when it comes out or do you wait for it to drop its price? Or maybe find a good deal? Do you buy many on Black Friday?

Well, I'd say Thor 2 absolutely delivered. Really enjoyed it. Loved the set up for Guardians of the Galaxy/Thanos at the end. I'd still give a slight edge to the first one...but I was very happy. As far as Gladiator on my chart....it's #4, but stuff behind it...Gump, Shawshank, Die Hard....will all be front eventually. Just happens how the rankings have shaken out so far. The Way Way Back is next on my list...

sorry man! I tried to respond last night, but while i was typing my thoughts on Die Hard 3 my internet closed out! anyways here are my Die Hard rankings:
1. Die Hard With a Vengeance (9.5/10)
2. Die Hard (9.5/10)
3. Live Free or Die Hard (8.5/10)
4. Die Hard 2 (8.5/10)
i havent seen the fifth one.
I love the first four! My main reason for Vengeance being my favorite is Samuel L. Jackson and his chemistry with Bruce Willis.

I've finished watching the best of De Niro and Scorsese so its time to move on to DiCaprio (it is his 39th birthday today!) I'll start with Gangs of New York.

How was Fear and Desire? It's the only Kubrick film I didn't watch.

Temple of Doom was great. The only two problems I had with it were it being a bit overly silly at times and Willie was annoying, but besides that I enjoyed it. Really liked the ending part especially.

I loved The Last Crusade, there were so many great and awesome parts and the father-son chemistry that Sean Connery and Harrison Ford had was very entertaining and well done which really added to the movie's greatness. Its almost as good as Raiders of the Lost Ark in my opinion and I overall love the Indiana Jones trilogy. Although it was a shame how they had to bring out a not so good 4th installment afterwards.

Raising Arizona is a great movie, thank you for noticing that I liked it. I found it very funny and it was also a well-made film. :)

We certainly haven't talked much recently! Alfie Hitch is definitely my favourite director. I've now seen I think 27 of his films, by far the most number of films I've seen from a director or an actor! I saw my first Hitchcock silent film yesterdy and watching my 2nd today!

I appreciate you for reading my reviews ;D I saw your Die Hard review. I would love to re-visit the first three films but I haven't been re-watching much lately. Next month I'll probably re-watch Spellbound, the only Hitchcock film that I actually don't like at all!

Some films I plan to see soon

-The Raid
-Carlito's Way
-The Iron Giant
-Princess Monoke
-Million Dollar Baby
-Ikiru
-Great Dictator

Some Hitch films I'll be seeing between now and Monday!

-The Wrong Man
-Marnie
-Stage Fright
-Family Plot
-Jamaica Inn

There's more films I've planned to see but Hitchcock and Christopher Lee's Dracula films are my main objections as of now! I'm curious, have you seen any of Christopher Lee's Dracula films? If you haven't man, my god check out Horror of Dracula !:)

The Wrong Man and Marnie are both good. 10-15 range in Hitchcock's filmography in my book. And that's still saying a lot when you consider how many films he directed. In The Wrong Man, Fonda is great. And in Marnie, you get to see a young Connery outside of the whole 007 role.

I loved Sam Rockwell in Seven Psychopaths, love how much of a following it has on here. He was also great in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

Saw Captain Phillips. Liked it. A damn lot. Tom Hanks was good. What did you think of it?

I think its 29 now. I saw his 1929 Blackmail (I posted a review on Letterboxd if you're interested) and 1939 Jamaica Inn. I really didn't like the latter much.

I won't say I LOVE all of his work but there are 10 Hitch films in my top 50. There are about another 3 or 4 that I really still love! There are a couple of stinkers and a couple that I cannot be sure whether I like or not. Spellbound comes to mind!

I would love to see where Horror of Dracula ranks on your list, could you please rank it? I'd give it a 4.75/5

My favourite of the Dracula films is Dracula: Prince of Darkness! Christopher Lee is perfect in that film and indeed, all three films of the series I've seen so far!

My favourite actor as of now, would be Christopher Lee. It breaks my heart more than anything in the world just how underrated he is. He's been in well over 200 films and NEVER ONCE been nominated for an Oscar!? Where's the logic in that, he's brilliant in all the films I've seen him from. Have you seen The Wicker Man, he was remarkable in that!

Back to Hitchcock, even though I'm 29 films in there's a still a few big ones I haven't seen: Marnie, Topaz, Family Plot, Torn Curtain, 1934 Man Who knew too Much, Foreign Correspondent, Wrong Man.

I really want to see Moon. I've heard Sam Rockwell is fantastic in that.

Ooh, underrated actors. Hard for me to say, as most of my favourite actors are big name stars (Christopher Walken, Steve Buscemi, Daniel Day-Lewis, etc.) but honestly, I'd probably say Ben Affleck. The guy gets a lot of flack for decisions he made 10 years ago. I mean, he's fantastic in Argo, Chasing Amy, Dogma, the Town, and Good Will Hunting. Because of how much I hated Man of Steel, Affleck in the batsuit is the main reason I'm looking forward to Man of Steel 2.

Also, Michael Cera. Michael fucking Cera. I haven't seen Year One, or any of his other shitty movies, but hey, he's done Arrested Development, Scott Pilgrim and This is the End, I think he deserves more credit than he gets.

What actors/actresses do you find underrated?

Also, Hugo! What did you think of it?

Haven't seen Christopher Lee in too many movies outside of lotr. But I really enjoyed Edward Norton in Fight Club and Moonrise Kingdom. Have you seen Moonrise Kingdom? I've seen Moonrise Kingdom.

Em, I wouldn't say Ben Affleck is great in everything, but he definitely has too many good roles behind him to deny his talent. Ugh, Jersey Girl. Ugh.

I hated Man of Steel for the reasons most other people hated Man of Steel. All the characters are bland. The story is laughably poor. You become numb to the action after five minutes of the HOUR-LONG fight scenes. It's soullessly dark, and the few attempts of humor in it are really forced and horrible (I think he's kinda hot) There's no impact on Superman's character after he SPOILERS snaps Zod's neck. Nobody has any kind of arc. Nothing has any kind of point. But hey, be sure to shop at SEARS/IHOP/7-11/RUSSELL CROWE'S HOUSE!

Seven Psychopaths numeration was unintentional at first, until I realized shortly after, and loved it!

Speaking of Seven Psychopaths, have you seen Martin McDonagh's first feature film, In Bruges? It's also in my top 10, I love it.

Sorry I haven't been around. My work is stressing me out, so I haven't wanted to put too much thought into comments. I hope you understand. Ironichipster asked me questions that took some time to answer also. I still need to get back to him/her on another. I still haven't forgotten your other question, and I plan to do an EPIC comment to catch up on the questions I have missed. :)

Yeah, I talk to Dinelka frequently, we have similar taste in movies.

Well, The Dark Knight trilogy and The Avengers are the obvious ones. I also like Iron Man 1 and 3. Can I include graphic novels? If so, I like V for Vendetta, Watchmen, Sin City, Kick-Ass, 300, The Crow, A History of Violence, Scott Pilgrim and Road to Perdition.

Did you like the new Hunger Games?

What do you think of other Wes Anderson films? My favorite is Fantastic Mr. Fox?

Eh, the over abundance of action was a major complaint of mine, but the main point was how Superman destroyed most of metropolis and killed thousands of people with no remorse, then we're supposed to expect that he would save three faceless tourists.

My favorite films of the year would definitely be The World's End. It's number 11 on my chart, so that's something! I also really liked Blue Jasmine, Prisoners and Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa. Iron Man and Star Trek were also pretty cool. How about you?

2. Fargo (Love the Coens, but I'm not too keen on this one for some reason and its often called their best film)

Oh, your username is MASTERofMovies. For the longest time, I thought it was Maestro. I'm dumb and can't read. :)

I love Kingdom and Rushmore, but find Bottle Rocket to be the weakest of Anderson's work. Not a bad film by any means, but not fantastic in comparison to his other works. I love Life Aquatic, what do you not like about it?

I do absolutely adore World's End! I watched it and Pulp Fiction in the same window of time, and it sparked a new appreciation of film for me.

My Top 10 So Far: Which will probably be a lot different by the end of the year.

1. The World's End.
2. Prisoners.
3. Blue Jasmine.
4. Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa.
5. Iron Man 3.
6. Captain Phillips.
7. Star Trek Into Darkness.
8. The Way, Way Back.
9. In a World . . .
10. Pilgrim Hill.

Honorable Mentions: 42, Enough Said, Ain't Them Bodies Saints,

Have Yet to See: Thor 2, Don Jon, Gravity, 12 Years a Slave, Nebraska, Before Midnight.

And yes, To Kill a Mockingbird is actually my favorite movie of all time. That's why I have it listed as my favorite movie of all time. :)

I've seen most of the movies in your Top 10, except for Jurassic Park. Thoughts?

The Dark Knight Rises: Well, it's my number two (insert joke here), so you know I love it. It just gets better and better for me. The first viewing felt like a letdown, but now, I can't get enough! It's showing on tv now. Everytime I see it's showing I turn it on and watch it, doesn't matter what part. I know, and can see why certain parts frustrate people (some parts annoy me too), but I love it too much to let minor problems get in the way of my enjoyment. I have found to enjoy the soundtrack more and more as well. I didn't even notice it the first viewing. But now, it really rakes up the intensity.

Casino Royale: More my type of movie compared to the older Bond films. A little more serious, less ridiculous. I love the start, that has always stuck with me. It's very close between Casino Royale and Skyfall for me.

Iron Man: Love it! Robert Downey Jr. IS Iron Man! Imagine if Tom Cruise didn't back out from playing Tony?! Oh, how much worse that would be!! What a year it was for superhero movies with this and The Dark Knight.

Fargo: To be honest, I thought Fargo sounded shitty before I sat down to watch it. I soon found out how amazing it is. I'm not much for the comedy element, but I do really enjoy the crime genre, so this movie had me there. It's Frances McDormand's movie, but I enjoyed watching William H Macy, Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare.

Django Unchained: What a blast! I watched this twice in the cinemas. The action, the dialogue and the tension it amazing, simply amazing. I was action drunk from what I was seeing! :D My problem is Tarantino. His Aussie accent is terrible. The end in the house feels like the true ending, and the last twenty minutes are just added on, but I still can enjoy it.

Unforgiven: What an amazing farewell to the western genre for Eastwood was! I don't have much else to say, it's been a few years since I've seen it.

Rocky: It's interesting seeing Stallone as he was when he was younger, not the vein monster that he turned into. It's funny thinking how Stallone won an Oscar for this! :D I do love the movie, though. The boxing hasn't held up, but I do love an underdog story.

Raiders of the Lost Ark: Just the perfect adventure movie. It's so much fun! A coup,e years ago, I re-watched it for the first time since I was a kid. I was shocked at how good it was! It really doesn't date at all! One knows what to expect with Raiders. It doesn't matter how old the movie gets. this is Ford at his peak, not the old grump he is now. Bruce Willis and Ford should remake Grumpy Old Men. :)

It's about early forensic work. The cops are sure it's a certain person, yet the forensics tell a different story. I liked it, but I think they could of focused even more on the forensics aspect. I gave it a 3.5/5 on letterboxd.

Yep. I love the other Before movies. I'm sure I'll like the third also. It's a very unique trilogy, isn't it? No robots or pirates in sight. :)

I didn't dislike The Outsiders by any means...I just didn't love. I didn't really establish a connection with any character in the film, so maybe that's why I'm indifferent.
As far as music goes...it's a little bit of everything except country and teeny bopper pop...

You should definitely check out Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa. I went into it not knowing anything about Partridge, but found myself really enjoying it. Also, Colm Meaney gives a great performance as the film's antagonist, a mad Irish man who goes mad with a gun.
In A World is also a great movie, but in a very different way. It's less of a broad comedy and more of an indie drama with elements of humor spliced in. Kinda like a Woody Allen film, but more stylistic. Very well-written and enjoyable, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.
I really want to check out 12 Years a Slave, but it hasn't come out here yet! DAMN YOU, LIFE!

I assume you're American then, yes?

I really liked Gravity. It's slid into my top 10 of 2013 list at number 5, above Iron Man 3 and below Alpha Papa. I thought it was quite clever and interesting in it's execution. Amazing cinematography, really sucked me in. Some of the dialogue was cringe-worthy, though. I really loved what they did with George Clooney's character at the end. What were your thoughts on it?

I'll admit that I haven't seen too many Spielberg films, and may need to rewatch a few of them to really clarify the rankings, but here's how it looks right now:
1. Last Crusade
2. Raiders of the Lost Ark
3. Schindler's List
4. Saving Private Ryan
5. Adventures of Tintin
6. Lincoln
7. War Horse
8 .Temple of Doom
9. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I think I should put Tintin above Ryan and Raiders above Crusade, but I won't until I rewatch them.

I hope to watch Godfather Part 2 as my 500th film, then I might see Saving Mr. banks this weekend. You got anything lined up to watch?

Wow, this is. different. Well, I suppose it's better than the *scrollscrollscrollscrollscrollscrollscrollllllllll* that was the old setup. However, it may leave some comments trapped in eternal purgatory, never to be read again. To exploit this issue, how about I reply to the sat comment on your page, and you reply to the last comment on mine. That way, everything is viewable and conversations can always keep going on, and on, and on and on and on and on and on.

Also, hey-gee willikers! Nebraska comes out today in me local multiplex! So I may see that, rather than Saving Mr. Banks. You heard of Nebraska? Want to see it? Better call Saul?

I did not like Amazing Spider-Man at all. I thought everything about it was sloppy, and I felt like i wasn't being entertained, but advertised to. I felt like it tried so hard to distance itself from the Raimi films, but still ripped off scene after scene of it (villain talking to himself, uncle Ben dying for no reason, etc.) There was no emotion to it, and the untold story bullshit was such false advertising. Look, there's a big new intelligent secret, but we won't get into it until the next movie! Now just sit through our boring fighting and cheesy over-dark crappedy crap.
I'm not this pessimistic all the time, I swear.

The trailer for the next one looks like it has the possibility of being a clusterfuck with all the damn villains. In Empire magazine, Webb admits that the first one wasn't that good, the closest that he can go to saying that with the snipers down his throat. Could be good. But won't. Thoughts on my thoughts?

It won't be a massive shame if Out of the Furnace isn't great, there's still American Hustle, Inside Llewyn Davis and more to look foward to soon!

In Bruges was really great. It did black comedy so well and the humour never felt unfitting at any point and was always funny. There were so many memorable parts as well, plus everything else about the movie was so good. So overall I really liked In Bruges. :)

Most anticipated movies of 2014? Hmm. Let's see.

Hobbit 3 is one I'll definitely see. Some early reviews of part 2 are calling it as good as Lord of the Rings, so hopefully part 3 will fulfill those expectations.

22 Jump Street just for the title alone. Amazing.

Wolf of Wall Street. It's Scorsese, and I love Scorsese. I also love how little the trailers give away. It's quite refreshing, don't you think?

The Monuments Men, because it has a MONUMENTAL amount of talent behind it. Boom tish. Tip your waitresses.

The LEGO movie is something I have a bit of morbid curiosity for, since it has the directors of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and the aforementioned 21 Jump Street.

So, yeah. Those are mine. What are yours?

I don't even have a top 10 yet. Haven't seen too many films from 2013 according to my Flickchart. I think some films listed as 2012 came to Ireland in 2013, so I'll see if I can count a few of them.

1. The Conjuring.
2. Prisoners (literally just watched this about 20 minutes ago)
3. Django Unchained (think this came out 2013 in Ireland)
4. The World's End
5. Pacific Rim
6. The Place Beyond the Pines
7. Spring Breakers
8. Iron Man 3
9. Man of Steel
10. Evil Dead

That's a pretty wonky list, a few of those films probably came out near you in 2012. Anyway, I'll get back to you on a top 10 of 2013 because I've got plans to watch a few more from this year before the year ends. I'll try and give you a better list. I've got The Act of Killing, Before Midnight, Star Trek and Mud to watch and I hope to see Gravity before it leaves the cinema too. I'd also like to see (but don't know if I'll be able to) Frances Ha, Only God Forgives and Rush.

I'll post back whenever I get seeing a few more movies, I'm sure some will displace others.

Oh, and thanks for giving me your top 10 :) You got a most anticipated for next year list or anything?

Hey man, I know right! We almost never talk on here. In fact, I barely go on here now. I'm so busy on Letterboxd and blogger writing up reviews for basically every movie I see that I keep forgetting to come on here.

ANyways, I'm glad you asked me that. My top 5 would probably be

1) Gandalf
2) Boromir
3 Sam
4) Gollum
5) Aragorn

I'd give a shout out to Saruman who I thought was brilliantly captured in the films. Of course, it doesn't hurt that Christopher Lee is playing the damn guy either!

I am so glad to see Raiders your all time favourite film. It's the second greatest film in the history of cinema according to me: The Godfather just tops it. That's about it to me.

I see that you saw The 39 Steps. Love that movie so much. :) I'm going through a few Spielberg films as you know. Finished Duel and wow, very surprised. Fantastic film. :) I'm currently watching War of the Worlds then probably Terminal and AI.

Then, gotta move onto Scorsese. Any films you've planned next for 39 Amazing Movies?

Cool, I'll try and get seeing as many of them as I can before the end of the year anyway.

Great list, you reminded me of a few that I had forgotten. If I had to do a top 10 it would probably go:

1. Inherent Vice
2. Interstellar
3. Her
4. The Wolf of Wall Street
5. The Hobbit: There and Back Again
6. The Grand Budapest Hotel
7. Inside Llewyn Davis
8. American Hustle
9. X-Men Days of Future Past
10. Godzilla

A few of those movies are January releases here in Ireland, are any of them out with you already or coming out this month?

I'm really looking forward to the next Hobbit movie. So far the reviews have been saying that it's an improvement on the first one, which I thought could have been much better if I'm honest. It comes out here on the 13th, so 4 days time. I'll probably not get seeing it the first week though, unfortunately.

I liked Magnolia very, very much. How it told all the intertwining stories was fantastic and all of the character's stories were very interesting and emotional. Another thing that shows how much of a good film Magnolia was that the 3 hour run-time by quite quickly. It was truly a powerful cinematic experience that gives you a contrast of emotions.

I never knew Paul Thomas Anderson was your favorite director, I'm glad that you love his films so much. He's definitely one of mine as well and I'd also say that he's my favorite director of our time. It's hard to think of another director who has maintained such a good quality throughout their whole filmography like Paul Thomas Anderson. His work is just wonderful and all of the four films I've seen from him are in my top 40 on my chart.

Here's how I'd rank what I've seen from him so far:

1. There Will Be Blood
2. Punch-Drunk Love
3. The Master
4. Magnolia

Tintin sure was quite fun for the most part. I re-watched E.T last night and what more need I say about it. Nevertheless, I'll post another review of it. Timeless masterpiece. I just finished watching Munich, my god was that movie good.

Yeah, I gave Duel a 4.5. An awesome film, its in my top 5 from Spielberg. Your Big Lebowski review was terrific. What I'm gonna do at the end of your 30 Amazing Movies, is watch any from that list I've never seen before.

I'll have to wait till Boxing Day for The Hobbit, that's when it comes out unfortunately. I can't wait for it now! Good on you, make sure to get your school projects done! I've got quite a bit of holiday homework over the extended break.

I don't know whether I should re-watch Saving Private Ryan (I know I need a re-watch of it) or whether I should watch Colour Purple. I'm leaning towards SPR.

I've now seen 19 Spielberg films.

My next ones will probably be:

- Colour Purple
- Sugarland Express
- Hook

E.T dropped down a few spots. It's still in my top 10, I'm pretty sure but still, my god! Of course I'll post a review, over the next few days actually!

I'll add all the movies I haven't added onto my Flickchart by Wednesday and yes, I've actually already put all the films from Spielberg onto my list. It's updated!

I just torrent all films that I watch. The only Spielberg film I own, on DVD and not even Blu-ray is E.T

JC13 watches films on Swarm Tv, I'm gonna actually check that out soon!

Unfortunately, I'm watching neither SPR nor Colour Purple. I'm actually watching Hook right now and i don't know why I am. I'm 22 minutes into it and I wanna take a nap! Hopefully John Williams keeps me awake!

I'm actually planning to re-watch Jurassic Park tomorrow, then maybe watch The Lost World the day after. Then of course, finishing off with Raiders. And no, that will be the only Indy film for now. I gotta quickly move onto LoTR straight after that!

My Scorsese marathon will probably feature every film starting from Cape Feare 1991 in chronological order.

No. 1. Edgar Wright
1. The World's End
2. Shaun of the Dead
3. Hot Fuzz
No. 2. Woody Allen
1. Manhattan Murder Mystery
2. Midnight in Paris
3. Annie Hall

Feel as if I haven't seen as much Kubrick and Fincher and Coppola. The Coen Brothers, Christopher Nolan and Zemeckis would come close seconds in that list.

Do you have a top 5 of directors and 3 favourite films of theirs?

Sorry, I don't want to say where I work. Not because of you, but it would be easier for weirdos to know who I am. I'm always a bit paranoid. :)

Nope, I haven't watched anymore of Dances with Wolves. It's sitting in my Blu Ray player in my room. :)

Do America have American Hustle yet? They only allow the rest of the world rank when they get the movie. For example, I gave the info to the site for my cousin's movie The Turning right. Well, they went and changed the Aussie release date to the American date. They made me wait two months before I could rank it. Pissed me off that did.

I'm trying to stay away from all the publicity for Anchorman 2. I don't want to be sick of it by the time the movie comes out. Everywhere I look they're promoting the movie.

I do have a Facebook account. I actually joined, but when I had to tell them who I was on Flickchart, it wouldn't send from my end. Four times I tried. To be honest, I haven't thought about it for some time now.

They said that some of the viruses wouldn't allow them to use the compute anymore. I'd watch out Robbie.

I adore Sherlock, and thoroughly recommend it to you. Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch are both fantastic. The writing is incredible, and the style kidnaps you and keep you in a little bag with only a bag of peanuts and a Playboy magazine. But in a good way.
Series 3 premiers on New Year's Day, but I would start from the beginning if I were you, as it picks up from a cliffhanger. CHECK IT OUT!

Cool, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed them both. It makes me more excited for them when I hear of people liking them. That's odd that the site wouldn't let you add it, seems as though you got it added in the end up though?

That list of my top ten films this year that I gave you has already changed a bit. I watched a couple, re-watched one or two and I've still got a few more to watch this week hopefully. I'll give you an update on it when I'm sure it ain't gonna change any more.

I actually mightn't get seeing The Hobbit 'til after Christmas now, presents & all that shit is leaving me more broke than I expected. I'm in the middle of a course, but it isn't anything too stressful so I'm not so stretched that I have no free time for movies.

Sorry my friend. It's been a while. I like the Die Hard movies...basically in the order they were released...with the first easily my favorite and the last one being the worst. As far as Only God Forgives...it was okay, but it doesn't even sniff Drive IMO. OGF tried way too damn hard to be a "hipster, indie" flick. Drive smashes it. You?

Wow, break your top 50? It's great when a new movie comes along that just blows you away.

Well, I re-watched Spring Breakers and I think it might end up moving up a spot or two. I plan on re-watching a couple more too. Yeah, I'll give you my final list at the end of the year for sure.

I'll try and watch a few this week. The films I'd like to watch this week are; Mud, Captain Philips, Blue is the Warmest Colour, Stoker and Only God Forgives. I'm not sure how many of those I'll get watched, if any.

Apocalypse Now is number 3 on my chart, so you can imagine how much I love it. Absolutely incredible film, everything about it pulls me in ever time I watch it. It's the perfect example of intense, passionate filmmaking of the highest order, for me at least.

Casino I'm actually not that big a fan of. It felt a little like Scorsese going through the motions y'know? I feel pretty alone in this opinion, but I admit that I do have to re-watch it. It's been years since I watched it and most people seem to love it with some even putting it above Goodfellas. What do you think? Should I give it a re-watch?

The Thing is fantastic. I only watched it for the first time last year or the year before I think. I was very surprised at how well it has held up, it didn't have nostalgia going for it but I really loved it.

I'm fucking excited for The Wolf of Wall Street! I'd be very surprised if it isn't my favorite film of 2013 (especially after being let down by Desolation of Smaug). I'm betting that DiCaprio will be snubbed by the Academy as always :(

The only reason E.T is still my 3rd favourite is because I can't be stuffed ranking on Flickchart, there's too many mistakes that I can't be stuffed actually fixing em anymore!

Spielberg still definitely is not my favourite director. He's up there but I obviously prefer Hitchcock. He's close to Tarantino and just on top of Chaplin.

The 1976 version which I saw and gave 4 stars to. Pretty good movie, even for a non-horror fan. It was very, very entertaining. Would you recommend Bullet To The Head? I am a big fan of Walter Hill but I have only heard bad things about it? Would you recommend it?

I just rewatched Raging Bull today. Masterpiece of a movie. I would also like to rewatch One Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest, I don't know when. Which version of Apocalypse now would you recommend for a first time watch? My plan is to watch theatrical cut the first time and watch the Redux version the second time.

Your reviews are great buddy. Are you planning on writing a review on Wolf Of Wall Street? Your reviews are making want to rewatch Star Wars original trilogy. No offense, but I just find them a bit childish. Maybe because I have absolutely 0 nostalgia for it. Keep writing the awesome reviews man. I love them. What movies have you got planned for the rest of 30 amazing movies?

Hmm, not sure. If Cate Blanchett doesn't win Best Actress, though, I'll punch some people. If Simon Pegg got nominated, that would be the greatest thing ever ever. But it definitely won't happen.
I wouldn't mind Blue Jasmine sweeping most of the awards to be honest. Best screenplay, best director.
And I swear if Gravity gets any non-director/VFX statues I'll be disappointed.

Your thoughts?

I enjoyed Gravity quite a bit, but I felt that all of the dialogue was really not that good. And any award outside of director or technical catagories would be giving it a tad too much credit, but alas, I may be wrong. Haven't seen 12 Years a Slave yet, but I'm definitely pumped for it.

Bad Santa was a pretty neat movie, thoguh I found it a tad mean-spirited for my tastes. However, I feel an annual rewatch would help the film grow on me as the calender's shoot by in sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight! A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-afternoon delight! Whoops, got carried away there for a bit, sorry.

Love Actually? Ooh. Didn't like it. Too be honest, it was an unfunny, poorly written mess. As a young man trying to study screenwriting techniques, there are some stories in there with absolutely no jokes or scenes that work, which is really disappointing considering how much good talent is behind it. Especially coming from Blackadder's Bill Curtis. Shameful.
Martin Freeman's role as the awkward-but-lovable porn star was the highlight, though.

A Christmas Story was very well-made and quite a nostalgic viewing experience, despite it being the first time I had ever seen the film! Everything in it is so relatable and creative. As a film however, doesn't hold tooooooo much worth outside of a movie to watch at Christmas. Still quite good, though.

Feel free to join into the Bill Murray love! I may be thinking of changing my avatar to something else after Christmas, but as for now, Gaveecho, Shane24 and I are the Three Murrsketeers! Perhaps when I change you could take my mantle, so the legend shall live on!

Cool that you've been checking out Sherlock. Love that show, Cumberbatch is fantastic in it. That's another really good performance from Martin Freeman. Speaking of which, any thoughts on the Hobbit films, or the adaptation of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with him in it?

As for other shows I like, I'm a huge Breaking Bad fan. Have you seen that show? It's amazing.
I also quite like South Park, although it's been more hit and miss as of late.
Blackadder, Fawlty Towers, Father Ted and the Royal Family are a lot of the classic sitcoms I like. There are also a few modern ones I enjoy, like Outnumbered and Moone Boy.
I've also been really getting into the IT Crowd lately. Trying to get up to date so I can watch the final episode special sometime soon. I love Chris O'Dowd. He's great in IT Crowd and Moone Boy.

Well, I'm going to the Desolation of Smaug tomorrow. And I may see Mr. Banks or Philomena sometime in the week after new year's.

Well, I have my own annual list of Christmas classics to watch with the family, here they are ranked:
1. Miracle on 34th Street
2. It's a Wonderful Life
3. Elf
4. The Nightmare Before Christmas
5. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
6. The Muppet Christmas Carol
All fantastic films. So far I've seen all but two, Vacation and Nightmare, which I may try to watch either Christmas Eve/Christmas Day if things work out.
Do you have any holiday traditions movie-wise?

Have you read the Hitchhiker's Guide books? I quite like the film version, but maybe only because it introduced me to Douglas Adams' graceful scribblings from his God-like comedic mind.

I really liked the Breaking Bad finale. I felt like the hole Season 5B was a very surreal watch, as they were breaking all the rules that had kept up throughout the show, if that makes sense (Hank finding out, etc.)
I also wrote a massive fan-fic on Shane's page about where I would hope for the series to go with a Saul/Huell sequel. But after a while it turns into a parody of Django Unchained with Ghostbusters characters. My mind is weird like that.

Heard good things about both Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. Too bad I am an ol' Irishman who lives in a field, unable to access either.

Ah, yes. Me old youtube channel. I used that to upload really bad reviews of movies using a dumb hand puppet shown in the avatar. They got no views, and I recently privatised them.
You like Schmoes Know? I think they're pretty darn funny. Any other youtube critics you like? I enjoy PrettyMuchIt, JonTron and Chris Stuckmann.

Fair enough, I was just curious as to why 2001 moved up! I'll check out your Star Wars reviews soon. :)

I can't wait to see Smaug obviously. I also can't wait until the Blu-ray of Wolf on Wall Street comes out. By then, I'll try finishing every Scorsese film. And yes, I wanna see American Hustle too! I also wanna check out Her, 12 Years a Slave, Nebraska and tbh, The Book Thief. I know the reviews for the last film suck but I wanna definitely see it.

I was reading your Taxi Driver review and you mentioned that the film will definitely not be one of your favourite films but I was surprised to see it be your 3rd favourite film. Any reasons as to why? I was just perplexed! :)

I never knew that Elf got any hate, I always thought that it's popularity was growing. Well, I REALLY like it. It's a fantastic Christmas movie with great characters and a good story. Jon Favreau directs quite well and the inclusion of all those Christmas song is inspired . Your thoughts?

Yep, I've read all five of the trilogy, And the sixth one by Eoin Colfer. Read that one?
Oooooooh, im not really sure what to think of those old reviews. I shouldn't have used that dumb hand puppet.


Well, I probably could watch them somewhere (in fact I think I know a station that plays WD over here) but I find Netflix so so convenient that I usually dont go outside it for tv stuff.

Jeremy and the Fkick Pick are okay, I guess. I'm subscribed to them, but they tend to annoy me a lot, so I usually skip their videos when they show up in my feed.
Jontron doesn't really do movie reviews, as hes kinda more of a retro games guy. But his style abd delivery are just so perfect that I can't recommend hin enough.
And as long as we're talking movie criticz on youtube, Belated Media is another favorite of mine. He doesn't upload too regularly, but boy, when he does . . .

I'll post the thing tomorrow when I'll be on the laptop and able to cut and paste.

*************BREAKINGBADSPOILERS***************
Okay, here's the Breaking Bad theory. It's pasted directly from Shane's comments, so there are parts where I may refer to you as a tall Australian man. Okay, here we goooooooooooooooooooooo:

Mah theory on Huell: Think about where he is emotionally right now. His employer, Saul, who he has been a loyal bodyguard to for years, suddenly kills Jesse for no reason. Then two cops who know this go out to find him, and never come back. That doesn't look too good, does it? Also, who's to deny that Saul didn't kill Walt, Lydia and the nazis? Huell is destroyed inside. His life is now completely fucked up, and Saul may soon kill him. So, the DEA send him on witness protection.
Saul Goodman is now living in Nebraska, co-running a small bakery with a Mexican named Derrialo. Through a series of events in which Huell get's attacked by Los Angeles gangs, he escapes across the country, and then stops to buy a cake to stuff his fat face with. He meets Saul, and the two fight, before Huell realises that Saul is no murderer. Huell has been lied to, and wants his revenge on the American government. Him and Saul put on war paint and Heisenberg memorabilia. The two go around the country killing law enforcement officers, state by state, in revenge for the DEA killing Walt, Jess, and the gang.
But their outlooks are changed forever when they find Jesse Pinkman, now a young Boston cop, alive and well again. Huell now regrets the decision he has made with his life, but Saul isn't convinced. He is in too deep, and wants to kill Jesse. Huell teams up with Jesse and the two decide to kill Saul, but cannot draw themselves to do it, so Huell locks him up Jesse's basement. Now these guys are BIG, so big that Tarantino has made a film adaptation of their work, entitled 'WHITE GUY AND BLACK GUY WITH GUNS'. Tarantino was heavily criticised for allegedly glorifying their actions, but the man denies it, saying that he was simply portraying the sick pleasures the two men felt. But now that Saul is outta the picture, and Huell has quit the criminal game, people are getting suspicious. They think that they have perhaps been murdered, but by WHO? Well think about it, Saul's new criminal life has ruined his bakery business, so who would want him dead the most? Derrialo, of course! The man even spread hate speech about Saul when he was criminally active, so he is obviously the number one suspect. He is arrested under suspicion of murder, and goes insane with the false accusations, to the extend where he is waterboarded by the government. After his final waterboarding, we see a crazy look in his eye, and he utters these final words:
'Why am I attacked for doing a good deed?!'

TO BE CONTINUED!

Okay, here we go. For better or worse, Better Call Saul Part 2!
So Saul's Mexican baking partner has gone crazy, and he pretends to know where Saul is so he can be freed from the police. I forget his name, and I'm too lazy to scroll down to see his name, so let's call him George Clooney. Clooner for short. So, in between flashbacks of Saul having nonshalont banter about where Walt buried his money before the DEA took it, he tells them the co-ordinates, and says Saul is buried there.
The cops rush out to the area, dig up Hank, and are shocked. George Clooney killed those two lads, Jaysus! But as we see, one of the cops who dug him up looks confused. He see him roll up his sleeve to take out his gun. On his sleeve: A swastika.
This is the same cop who was waterboarding Cloon. He is fucked up, and the very reason that Tood's uncle had all those 'connections' in prison. He plucked a single eyebrow hair from Hank's bald head, and places it in a doggy bag.
Saul is locked up in the shed. He screams out as load as he can (HUELL!!!!! HUELL!!!) Jesse walks in and pulls up a chair beside Saul.He asks him why he let Walt poison Brock. Saul pleads Jesse to let him go, but Jesse will do no such thing. He knew that trying to question Saul's morals would be futile. He exits the shed, and just as he does, Hank's ghost appears behind Saul.
"What the fuck did he just say?"
. . .
"You heard me motherfucker, get him back in here"
TO BE CONTINUED!!!!!

BETTER CALL SAUL PART 3: The One Where Shit Gets Really Odd.
We see a woman: Hair frizzled, bagged eyes, trauma-enduced. She talks into a pay phone, like people on Breaking Bad always do for no reason. "I have a problem with my house." she says, "A PARANORMAL problem."
A van drives up into the woman's driveway. A man steps out, walks inside the house. He appears to be holding some complicated technological equipment. Inisde the house, he holds up some kinda nozzle. A man appears in the hallway. He has a bald head. A goatee. And his legs seem to vanish into nothingness before they hit the floor. 'Hi, Carol' it says.
"My name's not Carol" the man responds.
"Then what is it?"
"Venkman" the man said, "Peter Venkman"
"You sound like Garfield."
"You saw Garfield?"
"Yep. I was stranded in a cabin for a full year, with only two DVDs: Garfield and some Dustin Hoffman movie"
"Look, you seem like a nice guy, Mr . . ."
"White."
"Well, Mr. White, you seem like a nice guy, with an atrocious taste in films or not. But this old woman, Carol, she seems to be quite . . . Fucked up. Because of you."
"Oh, believe me. She's been fucked up for a long time. Put up her Christmas decorations on October 30th. Who does that?"
"Is that why you're haunting her?"
"Nope. I'm trying to get caught."
"You're honest. I'll give you that."
"It's what I'm known for."
Venkman sucks up Walter White's ghost, and exits the house. He tells Carol that there's a bit of ectoplasm on the floor, but other than that, things should be okay.
Back in the Ghostbusters office, Dan Akroyd sits with his feet up on his desk, reading a Ghostbusters comic. "Hey, Venk?" He calls, "Why did you fucking let these come out? The plot's so DUMB! It's like their making it up as they go along. And to follow it up after something SO GOOD, to just write some garbage about-"
"Shut up, Dan. Just got a call from some guy named Huell. Ghosts. Gotta tell ya, I'm busy tonight. Have fun."

Well, I've got nothing else to do right now (aside from studying for super important test), so let's go ahead with BETTER CALL SAUL PART 4!
We hear the voice of a man. He sounds like an Aussie. From the echoes we hear, he sounds like a tall man. He asks the universe a question: Where is Ernie Hudson?
The Universe awkwardly searches it's jean pockets for a moment, before taking out some loose change, and dropping it in the voice's lap. Ernie Hudson is locked in a boarded-up shower with Paul Dano. On the other side, Hugh Jackman is pissed. He screams at him: WHERE IS WALTER WHITE? YOU GOT HIM DIDN'T YOU?
Ernie Hudson has no clue what the hell is going on. He cries on Paul Dano's shoulder. It is cold, unusually so. He looks into Paul's cold, dead eyes. What the hell is happening to him?
"He died in a meth lab, goddammit! Don't you watch the news? His lawyer killed him!"
"We ain't talking 'bout that, n*gger! We're asking where his GHOST is!"
"Hey! Don't you dare call me a nagger, you fucking Cr*cker! . . . What d'you mean ghost?"
"He's gone missing, you fool. And we all know where you put him. We need him to cook for us."
"Hugh, are you one of those nazis?"
And with that, the shower is turned on, and Ernie feels a scalding heat worse than Venkman after seeing Segourney Weaver's shoulder. Then suddenly, it grows cold, freezing. Colder than Harold Ramis after seeing Sigourney Weaver's sex tape. That night he cried. He may soon run out of options, and be forced to chow down on a certain There Will Be Blood star.
MEANWHILE, Huell is sitting in a wreck in the kitchen. Dan Akroyd walks in, dressed in full buster gear. Huell is relieved. He invites Dan in and shows him to the shed, where we hear a really annoying laugh and abysmal jokes.
Dan opens the shed door, and is initially shocked to see a bearded, sweaty Saul Goodman sitting in the corner, staring him square in the face.
"Hey, you're the guy from the billboards. What's your tagline?"
"Who you gonna call?"
Dan shuts up, and points his ghosty-gun-thingy at Saul.
"Oh, I'm no ghost. Jeezus, what are you, an amatuer?"
Saul nods up to the ceiling, where Hank is slowly reading a TV catalogue. "Are you kidding?" he says with a deep echo, "What the fuck is Under the Dome?!"
Dan shoots out his stream, sucking Hank into the ghostgunthingy. He does it with surprising ease, as if he was assisted by some unseen force. Saul thanks him for his service and says that if he doesn't mind, he will continue being held prisoner by his own bodyguard.
"Hey, that's a film. Prisoners!" Dan says. "It's got whats-his-name in it."
"Shut the fuck up." says Saul. This experience has changed him. He is no longer the jokey lawyer we one knew him as. Dan leaves, Huell thanks him, and he crashes his car into an oncoming army tank.
The police come by later, but they seem rather reluctant about the whole thing. One asks Huell about what he saw, anything in particular about the tank. Huell said that there were letters written on it, but he could only glimpse two before the tank disappeared down the road. N-E. The police level with him, and say that they think it was the work of neo-nazis.
But on that very crime scene, a certain detective with a swastika tattoo, who plucked one of Hank's eyebrows in part 2, takes Dan's ghost-storing-box-thingy as evidence. He gets in a cop car, and talks with an unknown individual as he drives off.
"That was way too risky!" he says, "We could have destroyed the ghost thing. Then we coulda had two ghosts just walking around Nebraska! Do you see how fucked we would be if that- . . . No, I guess they wouldn't walk . . . Look, just shut up. I'll be there soon, then we''ll deal this one through. Oh, and just to keep things straight, you've still got Mitch Hurwitz tied up in the basement, yeah? Good."
Who is behind these mysterious killings? Well, we know it's the Neo-Nazis, but . . . uh, well, this isn't a very effective cliffhanger, is it? Okay, how about this?
Another cop, this one with a swastika tattooed onto his forehead, asks Huell if he can search his house. Huell is flustered, and says that he doesn't own the house, so they can't. The cop says that Huell's head looks like a cow turd made in a pottery class, and runs into the house without permission.
There we go! The Nazi's gonna find Saul! You satisfied, Shane? YOU SATISFIED, MOTHERFUCKER?!?!!?!?!?

Okay, part 5. Bitch. Let’s go.
We open inside the ghostcaptureboxthingy. It is cramped. Hank leans against a hall with Walt staring him in the face. “I felt you, Walt.” Hank says, staring him in the face, “I felt you pulling me in. What do you want to do with me?” Walt smiles.
“You heard about the Ne-
“Shut the fuck up.” says Hank. He spits in Walt’s face. “What am I?”
“You’re a ghost. People want to bring you back, the ne-
“I’m . . . a ghost?” Hank is bewildered. “What the hell are you talking about?”
“We need to escape them, Hank! We don’t have much time before they bring something on for longer than it needs to go!”
“You fucking sell meth and now you want my help?! You fucking destroyed are family, your own fucking child, Walt! Your own fucking child is the son of a drug dealer.”
“Hank. Shut the fuck up for a minute. When we’re done here, you can haunt me all you want. Now, just make sure you keep these ne-
Suddenly, the ghostboxcapturethingy is cracked open, and Walt and Hank find themselves in a dark room, with a group of suited faceless monster-men staring at them, with a shining red symbol up on the wall.

Mr. Nazicop walks into Jesse’s house, and sees a family photo on the wall. It features Jesse and Brock standing in Disneyland with Goofy. Mr. Nazicop shudders, and realises whose home he is in. He walks out into the garden, then into the shed. Saul is there, staring him in the face. Nazicop holds up his gun.
“There you are, motherfucker.” says the cop, “Stay where you are, don’t move.”
“Okay,” says Saul, “I’ll co-operate.”
Then Saul vomits green goop all over Nazicop.
Then Nazicop shoots Saul in the face.
Then Nazicop is scared. He has killed Saul, which he was not supposed to do, apparently. He slowly crawl down over his body, then takes out a switchblade knife. He cuts off Saul’s scalp. He holds his horrible combover hair in his hand. He cringes, and puts under his jacket..

He exits the house to see Jesse there. He nods at him, and says “Hey, Pinkman.” He gets into a cop car and drives off. We see Venkman standing by the crushed car, tears in his eyes. Harold Ramis appears behind him.
“All my friends are dead, Ramis.”
“It’s okay, Venkman.”
“Fuck you. I hate everything now. Why do I even catch ghosts?”
“Hm. Well, it’s because you’re an expert in the paranormal, isn’t it?”
“If you honestly believed that, then you’re a bigger fool than I ever thought you were.”
“Where’s Ernie?”
“FUCK-

In the bathtub, Ernie Hudson cries while he eats a platter of Paul Dano’s intestines with a knife, fork and toppings of cheese and salt.
He hears a gunshot, a door breaking down, an annoying laugh, and a door slowly creaking open. The wooden bathtub blocky-thing is broken through by the man who also may have caused the gunshots and doors breaking down. His face pokes in to look at Ernie. He smiles, and laughs annoyingly.
“Hey, Ernie! How you doing?” said Quentin Tarantino.

PART 6 OF THE BETTER CALL SAUL REDICULOUS WASTE-O-TIME SPECTACULAR!
Quentin Tarantino peels away the wood from Ernie’s bathtub cage with difficulty. But all that matters to him is that Ernie is safe, he needs him. Ernie emerges from hell sweaty, damp and bearded, with pieces of Paul Dano on his chin.
“So, now that that’s all cleared up. You and I have got a job to do.”
“What?” said Ernie. He was confused. He had almost forgotten what it sounded like to hear the voice of a man that wasn’t imitating Christian Bale.
“Hurry up, n*gger. Get yo’ black ass over here!”
“What did you just call me?” Ernie asked, rage bottling up inside him.
“I called you a n*gger. But it’s okay, because of the context of which I use it in.” Quentin says nonshalontley, handing Ernie a gun, “I’m an artist. And you will be my apprentice.”
And suddenly, Tarantino bursted into an elaborate rap song about something to do with ghosts and hos. No one can be sure what the lyrics actually were, as he was spluttering them in a slurred manner faster than space time can quantify.
“What are you doing?” Ernie asks.
“I’m rapping, playa!” Quentin says with a million-mile smile on his cocky face, “Cause I’m with a black guy! It fits thematically, you see.”
Ernie is speechless. Quentin notices this, and leads him out into his dentistry wagon with detailed instruction, as if he were talking to a five-year old.

Jesse comes home after a long day and work to find that things have gone a tad wrong. For one, there was a scalped dead body in his garden shed. For two, the dead boy’s bodyguard was a crying wreck on his sitting room floor. Whenever Jesse tried to console him, he would simply respond by yelling something about pottery, and something else about the bizzarre hierarchy of agricultural figures in modern society. For third, the house has no more walls. Or ceilings. As it has been burnt to the ground.
It appears that the arson was inflicted by a group of radical neo-nazis, as opposed to the non-radical neo-nazis, who fill their time baking cupcakes and browsing furniture stores for a good cushion to nick. Jesse notices that there was some kind of advertisement for Orange is the New Black carved into the back of Huell’s head. Jesse is dumbfounded, then enlightened. What if the whole nazi angle was just a front for something bigger?

Hank and Walt were naked aside from their S&M uniforms they had been forced into. It had been particularly difficult for the Nazis to find one for Hank, and were forced to get him a model meant for two people, making it quite uncomfortable for our favourite DEA agent. Well, more uncomfortable than a S&M costume is supposed to be, at least.
Walt was in the middle of a crowd of enthusiastic nazis, having his nipples squeezed. He squeals, as his tears drip into the bucket placed directly below him. Also, they’re ghosts, so they got some kind of ectoplasm-friendly S&M suits on.
“YEAH, MILK IT!” said one nazi,
“ONE MORE SEASON!” said another, “NO, TWO! THREE! UGH!”
“I’M GONNA COME!” said a third, “I’M GONNA COME HOME EVERY SUNDAY AFTER WORK TO WATCH THE NEW EPISODE!”
Suddenly, gunshots! Snoop dogg, or lion or cat or frog or whatever, blares out of a speaker. The door is slammed open, a receptionist is shot, and we hear a cheesey line.
“Cancell all appointments, Suzy” or something. Except less clever.
Q-man and Ernie Hudson enter the room with hearts full of pain.
“What the heeeeeeell is going on here?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” asked Ernie placidly, “Issat Walter White?”
“I knew it all from the start!” said Quentin, “I knew it ever since you asked me to make that original movie!”
“Original movie?-

Nazicop jumps in wearing Saul’s combover on his head, and dances around singing I CAN’T SEE ME LOVING NOBODY BUT YOU, FOR ALL MAH LIIIIIIIII-

Then another interruption occurs when Jesse and Huell walk in. “Who the hell are you?” asks one of the nazis.
“JESSE” Jesses Walt, “Thank God, you’re alive!”
“Don’t let these guys touch you Pinkman.” says Hank, “They’ll kill you like they did me.”
“How convinient.” said another Nazi. “We could have a full show reunion right here.”
“What do you MEAN?” said Ernie.
“They want to bring back Breaking Bad.” said Quentin with disgust, “For a spin-off show where Walt and Hank are ghost-buddies in an apartment in hell or something.”
“What would the Neo-Nazis gain from that?” asks Hank, baffled.
“They’re not Neo-Nazis.” says Jesse, “They don’t work for Hitler. They work for Netflix.”
The Nazis clap for Jesse. He has figured them out. The bastard.
“They . . .” Hank has no clue, “They only killed me, and Walt, because they wanted to make a Netflix show?”
“They invited me to their office a while ago.” said Quentin, “They wanted to make Black Guy and White Guy with Guns into a Netflix original movie. I declined, but I saw something at their office. A back room, with instruments of black magic, that could bring people back from the dead.”
“When you died in that meth lab,” Nazicop says, “I took a hair from your beard. The rest is history.”
“That is the worst idea for a show I have ever heard.” said Ernie,
“I know, right?!” Quentin squeals, “Why couldn’t they just let it be? They keep something going like that and it’s gonna have to suck major dick!”
“I think it sounds kinda cool.” said Huell, with the Orange is the New Black poster buzzing and glowing red, “I’d watch it. AND I can get a month-long free trial?! Who wouldn’t love that?!”
His voice was becoming a deep cavern as he opened up his fat mouth, beginning to exude posters for Zombieland and 21 Jump Street and The Other Guys. Jesse is shocked to see what is happening to this man, and attempts to give him the hiemlech manouver, to rid his body of the sickly Post-2000 Comedy Films.
Huell threw up Clerks, he threw up Annie Hall, he threw up Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. He threw up Drive, and Breaking Bad, until finally, a poster tube passed through his lips and unfurled on the floor. It read: Ghost-in-Law, and pictured Hank and Walt doing cheesey sitcom poses on a cheesey sitcom set.
“My God!” said Walt, mouth agape and squinting, “It’s disgusting!”
“Why?!” said one of the Nazis, “We’ve hired Marvel to make a Daredevil movie EXLUSIVELY for us! You can’t say that that doesn’t kick ass! And look at the shit that coming out in cinemas! Grown Ups 2! SMURFS! The Lone Ranger!”
“Um, well, ah, actually, I think The Lone Ranger is quite underrated, and deals with the duality of crime-fighting in a very interesting way, while still featuring some very well-directed actuion scenes and a well-written script.” said Quentin Tarantino, the guy who made Pulp Fiction.
And then there was a silence, as if everyone’s atomic structure had simultaneously turned all of it’s protons into Nicholas Weinding-Refn films.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about!” said the Nazi, “You made that shitty Django Unchained movie!”
“Django?” said Quentin, deeply hurt, “You thought Django was shitty? Oh, woe is me! How shall this be done?”
Quentin whips out his gun and tries to shoot Nazi-man in the head. CLICK. CLICK.
“It’s fucking jammed.” says Quentin, “Gimme a minute.”
“WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!” shouts Ernie, full of genuine sorrow, “You’ve come all this way to protect me and these guys, and then you just shoot someone based on your own selfish sense of pride. THEN, if your gun wasn’t jammed, the Nazis woulda shot you, then US! Quentin, it honestly feels like you just wanted an excuse to see a gunfight, not finish a coheive narrative!”
Everyone is surprised at Ernie’s intellectual comment.
“So what now?” asks Walt.
“Well,” says one of the Nazis, “I suppose we’re gonna make the show anyway. Unless any of you want trouble.”
“Oh, no thanks.” says Huell,
“Yeah, I’ve seen enough bullets in my time,” says Jesse,
“I’m thoroughly anti-violence,” says Quentin Tarantino, realising that his gun must be broken or something.
“I don’t want this.” said Ernie, “But I’ll be fucked if I-
AND AT THAT VERY MOMENT, a ghostly figure flies in through the wall going like OOOOOOOOOHH! He slimes all of the Nazis, causing many of them to choke to death, and collapse on the floor. Who is this mysterious ghost? Is it slimer? Or Lydia? Or Todd? Or James Joyce?
“VENKMAN!” shouted Ernie, enthusiastically, “You saved us all!”
“Oh, was I?” said Venkman, playing with his tail, “I was just kinda wandering around aimlessly, but sure.”
“Bill Murray?” Bill Murrays Walt, “Why are you a ghost?”
“I killed myself,” said Venkman, “Life wasn’t worth living. Then I realised I was a ghost and just lost my mind.”
“You reckon Danny’s a ghost too?”
“Nah,” said Venk, “He’s got an afterlife with those crystal skull aliens, up in the space between spaces. I saw him up there, waving down at me. Cunt.”

This time the silence had a purpose. It was a satisfying silence, as our adventure was over.

“Well, that was fun.” said Huell
“Yeah, but why did the Nazis burn down my house?” asks Jesse,
“Yeah, dat was mah bad.” said Huell, “I tried to get them to leave by doing the christ-thing with two bits a’ firewood, an’ before ah knew it you had no house.”
And then everything was okay, until twenty years later, when Huell was caught in a radioactive spill which turned him into a fifty-foot tall version of himself. He singlehandedly destroyed every major civilisation on Earth, killed every human on the planet, until he accidentally jumped too high one time and fell out of the earth’s orbit, and now floats in space searching for another home. He eventually found it, but it ended up being the sun. Huell exploded into flame, and died a slow and painful death. However, in his last precious moments of life, he thought of the time Ted slipped on his carpet and hit his head. Huell laughed. He spent his last moment of existence laughing.
And in the end, isn’t that what we all want?
THE END

Did you get the references to Prisoners? Or have you not seen that one?

I thought Ferrell was fantastic. It's probably my favorite performance of his. Is it yours?

Here are my top 5 stand-up comedians . . .
1. George Carlin
2. Jimmy Carr
3. Frankie Boyle
4. Louis C.K.
5. Nina Conti
Heard of any of these?

Have you see the Season 2 finale? If not, I would recommend it, as series 3 will pick up from a cliffhanger.

Yep, just got back from it as well. Freaking fantastic movie. Return to the Lord of the Rings standard, if you ask me. What's not to like? So many great plot-lines and characters, the action scenes all kicked ass, Benedict Cumberbatch was the coolest thing ever. Martin Freeman was also great, and Stephen Fry was a lovely surprise. Lots of neat parallels and thematic metaphors as well. Great writing. Justifies the stretching out of the story completely.
Pumped for the next one. Your thoughts?

I definitely preferred it to the first one, which I felt was kinda disappointing. This was an honest to god NEW Lord of the Rings movie. And that just kicks ass.

Did you like the first one? I found it kinda dull outside of the Gollum scenes.

I'm not sure if you saw my review of Cape Fear but its out! I watched The Age of Innocence yesterday, I don't care for it really. I could be a lot harsher on my rating and I might be. I just finished Casino- one of my favourite films OF ALL TIME! Up there with Scorsese's "Big 3"

Please man, post a review of Desolation of Smaug. I can't wait to hear your thoughts conveyed in a review!

Yeah, I won't get to see Wolf on Wall Street until its Blu-ray release. Same goes for a lot of the "later" 2013 releases. I went on Putlocker, I hate CAMs so I'll skip.

Taxi Driver is amazing, for sure!

Fortunately the holiday season is one of the few times I can get out to the theater because I have parents who can be fulltime babysitters. On my list is: Smaug, Wolf of Wall Street, Anchorman 2, and hopefully either Walter Mitty or Her.

Cape Fear is incredibly underrated. I loved all of it....except the end. I would have given it around a 4.8/5 if the end was put together better but pushed it down to a 4.5/5

After serious contemplating, I moved Casino from a 4.5/5 to a 5/5. I went to sleep thinking if my thoughts on Casino would change over such a short period of time, that I'll move it up. By his "Big 3", I mean Raging Bull, Taxi Driver and Goodfellas. I just thought you might think I meant The Departed. As for it, I will not re-watch it for this current marathon as I've seen it a few months back but if I think this marathon goes well, I'll re-watch it along with his Big 3 and some older Scorsese flicks.

DoS review was great! :) I'm not gonna bother saying "hope you enjoy GF II" :) It's pointless to say even say that.

5. Prisoners.

Sorry the comment went blank there for some reason. Anyway, what I was saying about Kick-Ass 2 was that it's not got many supporters it seems, but I really enjoyed it if I'm honest. It wasn't as good as the first one but I was entertained throughout

A few honorable mentions would be World War Z, Pacific Rim and Iron Man 3.

Alright, I'll try and give Casino the re-watch it deserves soon.

I've heard of Lone Survivor but not looked up anything about it really. I'll add it to my watch list though. I know the Schmoes Know, I haven't watched any of their reviews in ages though. I must check out some of those youtube reviewers again, I hardly ever watch any youtube reviews any more.

Wow, you watched The Wolf of Wall Street. I've been getting more and more excited about it each week. What'd you think of it?

I thought her storyline was probably the most interesting one in the film. I also thought that Chris carried the bad guy role very well. It just has a few niggling things with me that I don't mind overlooking because of how much fun I had with it.

Yes I saw Gravity in theaters and I'm so happy I did! It's a film that really needs to be seen on the biggest screen possible, one of the best experiences I've had in the cinema so it was.

I think I'm actually subscribed to all those guys from ages ago, I just haven't been on youtube for movie reviews in such a long time! I must check out some of their reviews again anyway.

Yep, Django was 2013 for us. We usually get all the 'award' nominated movies in January, whereas they usually come out in the US in December as far as I'm aware. You listed 12 Years a Slave as one of your favorites of the year, well it's out in Ireland this month so it could be on my 2014 list :) Same with The Wolf of Wall Street and Inside Llewyn Davis. Aren't they both on your best of 2013 list? The last top ten you gave me was early December and neither was on it, but you might've seen them mid/late December.

As far as Indy goes, I love the first three movies, and even find some redeeming qualities about Crystal Skull. Raiders and The Last Crusade are both in my Top 20, but I prefer The Last Crusade slightly, mostly because of Sean Connery. It sits at my #3.

American Hustle was fantastic. Reminded me of the Departed in a lot of ways, very layered in irony. Who's conning who? Which con is a con and which con is being conned by someone else's con? Stuff like that. Keeps you on edge, constantly guessing, yeah? Great pacing as well. Laughs mixed in with drama. And Amy Adams had breasts. Robert DeNiro was cool in his brief cameo. Saw Little Fockers on TV the other day, and realised how far he's fallen, and how much potential he still has.

What's your favorite language? Mine's English, because I speak it. I kinda speak Spanish and Irish, so those could be honorable mentions.

You're the guy who watches the Schmoes and Stukmann right? Have you heard of RedLetterMedia. They do freakin' amazing movie reviews.

I'd say my favorite character was still Hit-Girl. As for the villains though, Mother Russia was the best for sure. Na, I preferred the first one. I think the action in the first one was more memorable, the first time we see Hit-Girl in action took me completely by surprise, it was great. It also had the night-vision scene, hallway shootout and the warehouse scene also. I don't think anything in the sequel passed those sequences. I still really enjoyed it though, like you.

Yeah, it's definitely meant for the big screen. I worry how much I'll enjoy it when it hits blu ray though. I'm sure I'll still like it a lot, but will I love it as much as I did the first time is what I'm worried about. I hope I do anyway.

That's a great list, I just watched The Spectacular Now and thought it was great! I can see why you have it as your number one. Miles Teller is very good in it but I thought Shailene Woodley was the standout, she was great. I must add a few of the other ones on your list, that I haven't seen, to my watch list.

He's still a good actor, definitely. But most of the time he seems to be convincing us that he's not. With Fockers and Rocky and Bullwinkle and Last Vegeras, which I will slag off even though I haven't seen it.

Mine was Christian Bale. I loved his scene where he did his hair, setting up his own conning ability by showing that his mere appearance is a con itself.

I'm in the Irish equivalent of high school, yes. You know much Irish? It's mandatory at my school, despite it being never used.

Here's how I rank the Cornetto trilogy.
1. The World's End
2. Shaun of the Dead
3. Hot Fuzz
Fuzz is at the bottom mainly because of the pace-killing half hour action scene at the end. It Return of the King-ian in it's multiple ending-ness.
Thoughts on my rankings? Your rankings? Thoughts on Scott Pilgrim/Ant-Man?

I loved My Left Foot, fascinating film. As a Dublinian, felt really cool to see it shot like that in the eighties, as I haven't seen too many Irish films pre-2000. Thoughts on any Irish films? Once, The Guard, Perrier's Bounty, InterMission?

It was one of my favorites, top 5 for sure. My favorite of 2010 is kind of a toss up between The Social Network and Inception, with The Social Network sitting a little above Inception on my Flickchart. Absolutely loved both of them.

Yeah, I've been wanting to check out Stoker for a while. I still haven't seen the new Star Trek either, which I see you loved as it's your number 4 of the year. Lone Survivor and Captain Philips are the other two from 2013 that I'd really like to check out.

And yes, Spectacular Now was great, I already can't wait to watch it again! Yep, I saw Smaug in theaters in 2D which was nice. I thought Smaug looked incredible and I liked that it had a bit of a darker tone than An Unexpected Journey. I do need to give AUJ another watch very soon though.

Growing collections is something I can empathize with. So much I'd like and so little space for them!

Oh, you watched The Hunt and Mulholland Dr! I absolutely love Mulholland Dr but I'm aware it isn't for everyone. I have to ask what you thought of it? :) I also thought The Hunt was great, what'd you think?

I liked the ending, although I know a lot of people didn't. Honestly, I was just so wrapped up in what was going on that I didn't care about the pacing issues. I know that's not something I'd usually do, but the dialogue is just go goddamn good in that segment! "Get in your rocket and fuck off back to Legoland, you cunt!" "To Err is human, so . . . Err." "Gary might be a bit of a cock, and he is a bit of a cock, but he's my cock!"
And that whole epilogue was quite satisfying as well, as Gary kinda grew up and become a true rebel against a true villainy. Fighting for the oppressed, helping the innocent, stuff like that. Really shows his growth throughout the film.
What did you think of the ending?

Yeah, the new Sherlock is fantastic, have you seen two of them or just the first one?

Good Ol' Carlin. That man is a machine! No human can perform that confidently and quickly in his older age. He's amazing.

I have the Cornetto Trilogy box set on Blu-Ray, and while I can agree that they look amazing, but the standout aspect of them to me is their special features. Hot Fuzz has 5 commentary tracks. FIVE!!!!!! The World's End feature "Signs and Omens" is also really well-done.

I loved the first ep of Sherlock on pretty much every level, but the second one left me kinda lacking. It seemed like it was wasting a lot of time unnecessarily, and while the clues in other episodes are subtle and easy to miss, in this one they really beat you over the head with them. "HEY, HE DIDN'T SOLVE THE MYSTERY! HE NEVER DOES THAT! AH WELL, LET'S IGNORE THAT AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT THING! GET IT GET IT GET IT?!"
Liked how it wrapped up, though. Good foreshadowing with the whole 'She left early' thing.

What's your favorite Cornetto film quote?

I thought the ending was perfect, couldn't have ended it any better really. I also don't think it was a dream at the end and it doesn't really matter anyway, I think the point was that Cobb doesn't care any more either, he's back with his kids. Been a while since I've watched it, discussing it has made me want to watch it again :)

Yep, Captain Philips was in theaters a few months ago so it was, I just never got round to seeing it unfortunately. I actually quite liked the first Star Trek, my list is just a mess, I've been telling Shane that I need to fix it up for ages and I still haven't! I'll definitely try and see Into Darkness soon and let you know my thoughts.

I'm looking forward to the third one indeed. Desolation of Smaug ending the way it did has only heightened my anticipation. It should pick up right where it left off; right in the middle of the action.

Glad you enjoyed The Hunt so much! Mulholland Drive is a film that got better each time I watched it. It's like a puzzle that you can try and crack if you'd like, or you can just let Lynch's madness wash over you. I like the mystery of it all so I haven't bothered trying to piece bits together to try and figure out what everything means. I've got a fuzzy outline of what it's about and that's all I want! What'd you think of Naomi Watts in it? I thought she was incredible. One of my favorite performances ever.

I do watch Sherlock. Such a fun, entertaining show! Do you watch it?

Yeah, I've done a few. Usually have a kind of horror marathon around Halloween. Also a couple of trilogy ones, Jurassic Park, Dark Knight trilogy etc.

Hah I'll see as many as I can for sure!

Personally I'd put the Lord of the Rings above them by a fair bit. It may be a little unfair to The Hobbit since I've only watched both once though. I liked how The Lord of the Rings blended CGI with makeup and the action scenes were fantastic. The CGI wasn't convincing enough in The Hobbit to bring it near LOTR for me, for example, did you see the picture of what Bolg was supposed to look like? They made him CGI instead and he didn't look half as imposing as what he did when he was in the makeup. I'll concede that I have to watch The Hobbit movies again before properly comparing them to LOTR, but based only on one watch I'd pick LOTR. What about you? How do you think they compare?

I'm really enjoying the new season. It's a lot funnier than the other seasons, the first two episodes were hilarious I thought. I think a darker tone would suit the final episode now though. How are you finding the new series?

I really enjoyed American Hustle! Very good so it was. Terrific performances all round I thought. It seemed very influenced by Scorsese, it had his style all over it. The music, the energy, the camerawork all felt like a Scorsese movie. For me, it just missed a little something to make it truly great. Very happy I checked it out though, cheers for the recommendation!

I got it for around thirty euro, but that might have been on sale. I think you can get all those features on the individual Blu-rays if I'm not mistaken, but whatever, I probably am.

The first . . . Three? There's only three, dude. And the third one hasn't come out yet! Or am I mistaken, which I believe I am not on this subject. There was just the Empty Hearse and the Sign of Three, no?

My favorite Cornetto film quote would probably be: Why don't you get in your rocket and fuck off back to legoland you cunt?! It's probably the best quote in any film ever. I also really like the "You have a moustache" "I know" exchange from Hot Fuzz.

12 Years a Slave was pretty damn good. Really well-directed with consistently good writing throughout, with a few hiccups here and there. But Goddamn does Hans Zimmerman need to eat a dick. LOOK, THEYRE SLOWLY WALKING ONTO A BOAT! I BETTER PUT IN SOME INCEPTION MUSIC! DUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUINDUND. All the performances were fantastic, and was impressed by Cumberbatxh's attempt at an American accent, as I was for some reason expecting him to just speak in his normal British vocal vibrations.

Have you seen the Slave? Did you enjoy it? Did you at any moment get aroused?

The first one is one of my favorite films, the second is enjoyable enough and the third… eh… it's not great, but I can watch it easily enough.

I thought DOS was better than AUJ as well. I thought the extra action was a big benefit and overall it was a more enjoyable experience.

I really like The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook. I watched I Heart Huckabees quite a while ago, so I can't remember much about it other than I found its quirkiness very amusing. So far his films are 4 or 4 and a half stars for me; very very good but not quite great. Maybe The Figher would be a 5, I loved how it was shot and how gritty it felt. You got any thoughts on him you'd like to share?

Wow, you saw Her! How was it? :)

My favorite trilogy? I don't know, Toy Story and Star Wars sure come close. Definitely in my top three favorites.

WELP HE DIDN'T WIN BRO! McCanaughey beat him for his great performance in Ghosts of Girlfriend's Past. At least Inceptionman didn't win for Best Score. And Cate won! YAY! You seen Blue Jasmine? I fucking have. And I fucking love it. Thoughts on the winners? Thoughts on the wieners? Thoughts on how American Hustle isn't a motherfuffing comedy?

Blues Brothers was pretty good, but 190 of all time? No. Not even close. Most of the laughs from me came from the absurdities, like when people bursted into song for no reason, cars flipping over for crashing into pebbles. I would probably have liked it more as I knew who most of the blues singers were, as they were all lost on me aside from Ray Charles. Definitely has it's fair share of jokes that don't work, but it's pretty cool overall. The opening sequence is fucking brilliant. You like them Blue Bros?

Ooh, Oscar noms today? Hyped. I'll give you my thoughts on them when they come out.

Last year I attended a Lord of the Rings Marathon at my local cinema in anticipation for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Jouney. Ooh, that one was an experience indeed.
I don't have any marathons planned anytime soon, but I would like to have a Woody Allen marathon of sorts, as I have a bunch of DVDs of his that I'm yet to watch.
You seen any marathons ever? Got any planned?

Well, Oscars are here, bro. Here're me thoughts.

BEST PICTURE: Pretty satisfied, but would switch Blue Jasmine with Gravity any day of the week. Not sure which one I want to win, as I haven't seen Dallas Buyers Club, The Wolf of Wall Street, Her or Philomena. So far I'm going Hustle.

BEST ACTOR: My Dad really wants Bruce Dern to bring home this one, as he feels he had the least to work with and did as much as all the others. I think Leo winning would be great to win as he deserves it for the last freaking decade. Ejiofor could really win and I wouldn't mind. But Bale shouldn't. He was great, but not on the same level. He shouldn't win for the sake of Hustle winning everything.

BEST ACTRESS: BLANCHETT BLANCHETT BLANCHETT If Amy wins I will be annoyed even though she was fucking great. Bollocks to Bullock. Not an Oscar performance.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: I'll be happy no matter who wins. Hoping for either Fassbender or Abdi though.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Nyong'o I suppose. No real question.

ANIMATION: Seen none of them. Ain't I an adult?!

DIRECTING: I'd be fine with anyone, though maybe a bit disappointed with Cuaron, despite his directing being easily the best thing about Gravity. Payne? Sure. Scorsese? Sure. O. Russell? Sure. McQueen? Sure.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: ROGER MOFOFFING DEAKINS

Would have loved for The World's End to get a VFX nomination, but no, as usual they just went with whatever shitty blockbuster they could pull out of their ass. Lone Ranger? Really? The Lone Fucking Ranger?

Your thoughts on these catagories?

A Toy Story one would be incredible. One of the best trilogies ever.

I'd say it'd be The Fighter, followed by American Hustle and then Silver Linings Playbook. It's been so long since I watched I Heart Huckabees I couldn't rank it accurately but I'd say it'd be last anyway.

Cool, if it's a spoiler-free review I'll give it a read. Career best, eh? Sounds awesome, he was incredible in The Master.

I saw some of the winners. I haven't seen many of the nominees so I can't complain about anything, really. Happy to see McConaughey and DiCaprio picking up wins though. I'm surprised Before Midnight wasn't up for a writing nomination, maybe it wasn't eligible. You happy with the wins? Any ones you'd like to comment on?

Oh, I also went to a Batman Begins/Dark Knight double bill before Rises came out.
In the box set, I still have to watch Deconstructing Harry, Interiors, September and Zelig. Thoughts on any of these?

I saw Monster's University. Didn't really like it. Felt really formulaic and uncreative to me. Didn't have any of the wit of the original. Hey, remember all the joking Mike did in Inc? All the fun he had? All the good dialogue? None of that. The cool-ish ending was the only thing I really, really liked.

I mean, the World's End blended practical and computer effect perfectly! Why not just a measly smidge of appreciation for the year's best film? Ah well, rant over. :)

Tried to go see Wolf of Wall Street today. Didn't get let in cause it was rated 18s, even though my dad was with me, AND I had already been allowed to see the 18s rated Django Unchained a year before. So yeah, kinda hoping it won't win anything now, so I don't feel left out. ;)

Any thoughts on films rating systems in general?

Yeah, I saw MU at the cinema. And tell me, how did a group of ADD five-year olds find my Tucked-Round-The-Corner Indie cinema? Ah, well. I guess I'm spoiled, as most of the audience I experience film with are very polite and quiet and in the 20-50 age bracket. Are you this lucky, or do you tend to get cooped up with intolerable audiences? Anything they do that annoys you in particular.

I hope Miazaki wins the Oscar, but that's just cause he's Miazaki. I know Frozen has it's tongue down Ellen's throat already.

I dunno, Hobbit 2 has it's occasional moments of eh effects (or eh-fects . . . Eh?) or maybe that's just my flashback to the first and those fucking wolves (cringes). :)

Speaking of film ratings, could you please clarify the difference between an R and an NC-17? Don't really have equivalents of those over here, I also heard that hardly any theaters will show an NC-17 film! That's fucked up.

Yeah, I'd say it was my favorite movie of 2012. The Dark Knight Rises is also up there for me too though.

I haven't thought of that too much but I'll try and give you something. I'd like to see Justin Theroux in some more serious stuff, in a bigger role than what he's been doing perhaps? I'm not sure if he's underrated though, I thought he was great in Mulholland Drive and I haven't seem him in any semi-big/decent role since so I guess he counts? Jake Gyllenhaal would maybe be another, I don't think he really gets enough credit for the roles he plays. He was incredible along with Hugh Jackman in Prisoners I thought but there's not been much recognition for it or any other role he's played.

It is indeed and well deserved too.

The nominations are fine I suppose. I'd like to see DiCaprio get the win, I just watched The Wolf of Wall Street last night and loved it. I'd like to see some more of the nominees before commenting on it too much if you don't mind though. I should get round to seeing a few more soon hopefully.

As I said above, I went to see The Wolf of Wall Street last night and loved it. I thought DiCaprio was incredible, a truly magnetic, charismatic performance, probably my favorite performance of his career. There was such intensity in those speeches he gave to his employees. It was far funnier than I expected, the comedy is pretty black but I thought it was hilarious. I see that it's been pretty divisive, some people think that it glorifies or doesn't do enough to condemn Belfort. It did not paint Belfort in a good light at all in my opinion. It's Scorsese on the top of his game as far as I'm concerned and only further cements his reputation as one of the best directors today.

Oh, no. I say MU back in July! I suppose I should have been a bit clearer with my wording, huh?

Um, I dunno. Over here, the first quarter of a year is basically Oscar catch up, as most big contenders come out here in January/February. The biggest one that comes out in 2014 for me is The Grand Budapest Hotel, because I love Wes Anderson and dat trailer, man. Dat trailer.
What 2014 releases will you be seeing soon?

Here's the ratings system where I live:
G - Free game. Anyone can go, yo.
PG - Anyone can still go, but they may say butt or poop once or twice so watch out, Mum n' Dad!
12A - Anyone under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
12 - Only people over twelve.
15A - Anyone under fifteen must be accompanied by an adult.
16 - Only people over 16
18 - Only people over 18
I can get into anything but an 18s, as that's the only one they seem kinda strict about. It sucks, though, because my parents really don't mind if I see a Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino movie, because they both really like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino.
So overall, pretty similar stuff between us I s'pose. How old are you (not to sound creepy lol) and do you have any trouble getting into movies?

Sam Rockwell is great! My favorite performance of his was probably Moon. I wasn't a big fan of The Way Way Back but I thought he was the best thing about it too. He was also the best character in Seven Psycopaths I thought.

Scorsese is my favorite director as well! Taxi Driver is my favorite film and there hasn't been a Scorsese filmy that I've disliked yet. I really need to get re-watching Casino soon too.

Captain Phillips was very good. It didn't really take its foot off the pedal once the action started, there was some great tension and Tom Hanks was incredible.

I liked Do the Right Thing more when I thought about it afterwards. It's got a few very funny scenes but there was some real tension bubbling underneath the surface of the characters. It's an incredible film that I think I'll probably like even more on a re-watch.

The Last Stand was enjoyable enough. I was surprised to see it was directed by Kim Jee-Woon. It's generic enough with some really silly scenes but it does have some flashes of style and it's cool to see Arnie doing the action thing again.

You're Next is one that I kinda loved. I'll be honest and say that I have a soft spot for horror and tend to enjoy them a little even if they're mostly terrible. This ain't terrible though, at least not in my opinion. It plays with the genre nicely, has a great soundtrack and it's directed with some real flair and style. Sharni Vinson is also pretty great in it.

It's strange that out of a lineup that consists of a Best Picture nominee in Captain Phillips and probably a masterpiece in Do the Right Thing, the one that I liked the most is a low budget horror in You're Next! hah But I suppose I just gotta be honest.

I see you watched Spring Breakers recently and it looks like you hated it! I can see how someone would dislike it. Got anything you'd like to share about it or any of the other movies you watched?

Yeah, both Moonrise Kingdom and Fantastic Mr. Fox are my favorite Anderson films. But I really need to rewatch some of his other stuff.

Isn't Daniel Radcliffe in I, Frankenstien? Or am I missing something? Harvey Dent's definitely in it, right?
I have no fucking clue when Monuments Men comes out, but I really really want to see it. Probably sometime in Feb/March, but may be later, as no marketing has come out yet. Or maybe they're trying really hard to fuck the Cloon over.

The Aviator is quite good! I love Leo and Cate, both of them were spectacular. I loved where it went towards the end, although the Early 2000's CGI is very cringe-worthy at times. The funniest part for me was Loudon Wainwright III's cameo. Have you heard any of his music? Have you seen the Aviator?

Definitely check out Loudon Wainwright. I'll leave a list of some of his best songs later today.

I really like Louie C.K. even though my country doesn't want me to. He never does standup here, and his show is on available in Tower Records for $45 dollars for a twelve-episode season. But I love the clips of his standup I've seen online, and episodes of Louie I saw while on holidays abroad and his performances in Blue Jasmine and American Hustle.

Doodlebug's good. It's only two minutes long, but it shows promising early talent from Nolan as a filmmaker. Cinematography is excellent, and I would love to see him do a feature in a similar style.

Ay! Blue Jasmine! Thoughts?

Ay! Alan Partridge! Thoughts?

No problem, don't worry about replying late.

Well I was really surprised at how much I loved it. Some of the trailers led me to believe it would be a little too sentimental and manipulative, I was half expecting a run of the mill oscar-bait film. I did not get that at all thankfully. It's brilliantly directed, the violence is shocking and makes you flinch, as it should. To not show the violence would've detracted from the film so I'm glad it was shown in all its ugliness, it really makes you face it. The performances were all incredible, especially Fassbender and Ejiofor. I thought the score was a little tiny bit over the top at times, but I think that's what was probably intended so I'll have to watch it again to properly comment on the score. I think it's definitely McQueen's best film, it's the film that has shown what he's properly capable of. Hunger and Shame fell a little short for me (they're both due a re-watch though) but everything came together brilliantly in this.

I'm not so sure it was trying to be cool, I think I could be reading into Spring Breakers more than it deserves though. It's so divisive and I'm still kinda unsure of which side I'm on. I thought the cinematography was probably the best of the year though, did you at least enjoy it? hah How it's shot is actually why I've given it more weight than it may deserve, every shot seems to be wallowing in excess and it gets more neon-lit and fantastical as it goes on as far as I remember. I certainly get why you hated it though and I respect your opinion :)

Yeah I've heard of Monuments Men, sounds very interesting. I'm looking forward to it as well. Oh, school, exams and whatnot… stressful times. Don't worry about having to reply quickly or anything, it's cool man. Just reply whenever you're not too busy.

Robocop? I dunno. From the trailers it looks like just a rethread of the original. Not a reboot, just a straight-up remake of Robocop 1. But COOLER. But wait . . . Wasn't the original pretty cool too? So i guess they're just doing this one so it can take itself more seriously. Could be daycent, but most definitely won't.

Yeah, I use Putlocker. I don't like to use it too much, as I would prefer to support filmmakers. I would never watch an indie movie on there. That'd be a dick move.

Check out No, Surviving Twin, Grey in LA, It's Love and I Hate It, Dead Skunk, I'll Be Killing You This Christmas, The Last Man on Earth and Bed. They're all great.

I actually already saw Enough Said. I thought it as really human, interesting and creative for the most part, but I was disappointed by the ending. After experiencing such a postmodern twist on the typical romantic comedy, I felt like the ending just reverted back into a cliche ending. Disagree? Then fight me bro.

Yeah I know, right? He's been around for ages, though, kinda like what Frank Oz said about the Muppet Show: It was an overnight success in the works for twenty years.

The more I think of the soundtrack the more I like it actually. Zimmer is brilliant for sure! It was incredible but it's second to The Wolf of Wall Street at the minute. On a re-watch that may change but Wolf had so much energy and made me laugh more than any other film has in a long time that I'd have to pick it for now.

I can see where you're coming from there, it made my eyes tired too but I think that was the point. It went for what it wanted to be so full on that I kinda admired it but I can see how the style would rub one up the wrong way. We'll agree to disagree on it's attempt at coolness ;) Film would be such a boring medium if we agreed all the time so it's good to disagree at times :)

I just noticed that. Unfortunate, but it could still be entertaining hopefully.

And yeah, what terrible news. Such an incredible actor, one of my favorites. Some famous people tend to get a little overhyped or whatever after they pass but PSH was genuinely one of the best actors working today in my opinion. I'd say The Master was my favorite role of his. He oozed charisma in every scene, you could easily picture him as the leader of that type of organization. His lesser roles were also great though, he was one of the best characters in Almost Famous despite his minimal screen time. What was your favorite role of his?

I'm actually gonna try and watch a few of his films that I haven't seen if any of them are on Netflix. Capote is on there so I'll probably see it soon.

Hmm, favorite composers. John Williams, his Jurassic Park score is magical, whenever I hear it a sense of nostalgia washes over me. He did plenty of other great things but JP is probably my favorite score of his. Ennio Morrione is another, Il Triello is fantastic, I get chills whenever it starts playing at the standoff in The Good the Bad and the Ugly. Alan Silvestri for his Back to the Future theme. More recently Nick Cave's score for The Assassination of Jesse James was pretty beautiful. What about you? Who are your favorite composers?

I'm pretty sure I know what the twist is,Edward Norton and Brad Pitts characters are the same person,right?

I liked Monty Python for what it was just a goofy,fun comedy.I actually didn't think it was THAT funny.I mean,a lot of the jokes where hilarious,but a lot just dragged on too long.But I wasn't expecting 2001:A Space Odyssey or anything so it was an enjoyable experience.

Back to the Future was just a fantastic ride!All the characters were great and the script was awesome!

Oh yeah,I rewatched Raging Bull and you were right,it's now in my top 20!

I feel bad about this, but I haven't seen him in too many things. I would probably say The Big Lebowski and A Late Quartet. Haven't seen Boogie Nights, Master or Doubt or Capote. Really want to though.

Haven't seen Heat. Is it good? And yes, I did pick up a few movies lately. Here we go:

Up in the Air
Lawrence of Arabia
A Serious Man
The King of Comedy
Raging Bull
Boxcar Bertha
The Last Waltz
New York, New York
Lolita
2001: A Space Oddysy
Full Metal Jacket
A Clockwork Orange
The Shining
Barry Lyndon
Eyes Wide Shut

There. That's a lot. Thoughts?

Hey MasterOfMovies, what's up? Long time no talk. How have you been lately?

I haven't been active on Flickchart and Letterboxd lately. I will catch up with your reviews when I have some free time. Hey, I just bouht my first blu ray. Alien Anthology for 14 euros. I thought that maybe the movie couldn't get cheaper in any occasion so I bought it. I think I made the right decision. But the thing is I bought without having a TV nor having a blu ray player. I don't know if you know anything about these stuff, but I have been looking this on the internet and have found different answers everywhere, soem positive, many negative. So here it goes. Do you think a 32 inch TV is good enough for watching blu rays? Because I don#t think I will have more room in my room for a bigger TV. So any thoughts on this?

Also do you think a blu ray player needs to be more expensive than 100 euros for it to do everything okay(pq wise, audio q wise, and everything else because I have no idea what features the blu ray player has)?

Do you think I should get the Apocalypse Now blu ray with only the 2 versions of the film or must I wait until I find the Full Disclosure Edition?

Do you always buy blurays on big name electronic stores? Because I bought my copy of Alien Anthology on one of the huge markets that happen on parking lots here in Germany. Blu rays are more expensive on electronic stores and they don't have nearly as many movies as the huge markets. Another example that I thought was great was Jaws. In an electronic store the normal version was 15 euros. On one of those huge markets that I'm telling you the steelbook edition was 10 euros. I really wanted to get it but I thought to myself that the Alien Antthology purchase was more than enough. Do you buy blu rays on these markets? (I don't know what they are called that's why I keep calling them markets, please correct me if I'm wrong)

I plan on watching Alien Anthology as soon as I move to another apartment, buy a new TV (of course it will be flatscreen) and buy a blu ray player. Honestly I don't know how long that will take because it is not up to us. Most houses wih the parameters that we want aren't available.

I moved to another country now, Germany and I have to wait until I setup my movie watching room. This past MONTH (and what a long month it has been) I haven't seen any movies because I don't have the equipment that I mentioned above. So it might be months before I watch a movie. Who knows. I'll definitely keep you updated. I do watch movies in here sometimes, but they are dubbed in german, which I do understand, but the dubbing just pisses me off, I just want to hear the real voices man. Plus the dubbing is really off, it seems like those voice actors did the whole movie in 2 minutes. So yeah, I don't consider any of those experiences watching movies.

Thanks for the positive answer man. I am also fighting with myself whether should I get a LED or a Plasma. Many people say different things. Do you have an answer for this? The collection definitely will keep building, seeing how fun it is for me to check out different places for different movies and different prices.

1 euro = 1.35 dollars. Well good to know that it doesn't have to be expensive. But I hope that less expensive doesn't mean less picture quality and less audio quality, you know what I mean? I also have to buy a region free blu ray player. Since I right now am in Region B, and criterions sound like must owns and they are exclusively on Region A, a Region-free blu ray player sounds like a must have to me.

About the Apocalypse Now blu ray, I meant it more in the sense that it doesn't have Hearts of Darkness, the documentary (and the Full Disclosure Edition does have it). Or maybe I shouldn't worry about it. What would you say considering how much you love the film? Hahahaha, nice call on the alphabet thing. I hadn't noticed it myself. The reason that I was ready to buy Apocalypse Now is because it was one of the first blu rays that I wanted to have in my collection, along with Vertigo (which was only 8 euros, which I don't think is very expensive). The reason I wanted to have them on my collection before buying other movies is that I really, really want to see them, and why not in blu ray.

You misunderstood me (or maybe I typed it wrong), I don't shop online (although I do want to in the future to buy criterions), I shop at huge markets that happen on parking lots every now and then. And not on ebay or something like that. And by big name electronic stores I actually meant stores like Best Buy and such.

Thank you for the long comment, don't ever apologise to me again for a long comment. I love them. Any help is appreciated :D

I actually just watched Capote the day you recommended it! It took me about five minutes or so to adjust to Hoffman's performance but when I did it sucked me right in, an incredible performance. Yeah, it's been a crappy few months indeed.

The score for The Dark Knight trilogy is one of my favorites. It's also one of my favorite film trilogies. I believe you're right on that, I remember he composed a few tracks for it anyway.

Yep, I've seen all of his feature films now, just not seen one or two of his shorts. Hotel Chevalier is a short isn't it? I think it is anyway. I love the guy. I know he isn't to everyones taste and I can see why, but for me his films are just a quirky, funny and memorable time. Some of his films I'd count among my favorites (Rushmore, Mr. Fox, Tenenbaums, Moonrise) and others I'd class as a great time (Life Aquatic, Bottle Rocket, Darjeeling). He uses music as good as any other director around, the music he chooses usually gives much more weight to many of his scenes. You a fan of Wes yourself?

The story was very good but Hoffman's performance was the best thing about the film I think. I loved how it portrayed Capote as very unsympathetic, a person who puts his own needs & desires ahead of everyone else's. It seems like a film that isn't remembered as well as it should be, it hardly every comes up in conversation.

A lot of people aren't big fans of Life Aquatic. Anderson seemed to turn his style up to eleven in that one and it worked for some and didn't for others. I can understand why one would dislike it. Bill Murray having a shootout with pirates though? Damn I love that, man.

Oh, Dallas Buyers Club! How was it?

It seems you didn't enjoy the Lego movie that much?

It's out this week but not in the cinemas near me. It'll probably released in my area next week or the week after. I'd say I'll see it when it comes to my local cinema since yourself and many others rate it so highly. I'll give you my thoughts on it when I see it if you'd like?

Oh I see. My chart is messed up as well, the top 200 are accurate enough but after that they're all a mess and I haven't bothered clearing it up yet. A film I really like could be in the 800's or 900's and a film I don't like much could be up quite high.

I'll read your review for sure. I read your Place Beyond the Pines review and liked it. I wasn't as big a fan of the film as you were, the final third let me down a little but I enjoyed reading your review. It's a film I really need to re-watch though, I feel it's one that might come together better for me on a re-watch. I'm sure you'd recommend a re-watch of it anyway? :)

Maybe on another day you'd have enjoyed it more. Hope you like it more if/when you decided to watch it again.

Big Trouble in Little China was a pretty fun time. Quotable lines and over the top sensibilities in pretty much every area. A good, entertaining watch in my opinion. You a fan of it?

Frances Ha was a superb surprise! Didn't expect to enjoy it anywhere near as much as I did. Frances is a character that'll annoy some people but charm others, she did both to me. I found her a little annoying at the start but over the course of the film she really grew on me. I found the film to be funny, charming and the time flew by. It has one fantastic scene that I'd have loved to go on for longer than it did, you'll probably know what one I'm talking about when/if you watch it. The dialogue was smooth & witty at times and it's a film that managed to actually get to care about how things turn out by the end. I'd thoroughly recommend it :)

Shutter Island actually enjoys a good score on IMDB lol (8.1). It was Perfume, American Psycho and a couple of Hong Kong favorites that brought the rating down. I might add that I just did this as an interesting comparative analysis. IMDB shouldn't be taken as the be-all-end-all of cinema :)

I loved Wolf! Sure, it's a GoodFellas rehash but still has enough personality to be its own thing. I just wish Marty had relied a bit less on slapstick comedy. It was edging way too much toward parody than I would've liked. Sophisticated dark humor and satire a la American Psycho is more my way. Still, loved the hell out of it.

I'll try and check it out if there is a slow week where few movies are coming out. Her, Lone Survivor and a Nick Frost/Chris O'Dowd film are coming out soon here, and I intend to check them out.

I loved Raging Bull. It's my third favorite Scorsese film after The Departed and Cape Fear. What did you think of the ending in terms of what happened to Jake La Motta? I think it's a great ending and definitely open to interpretation.

Wow… 9 times is quite a bit. I've probably watched The Dark Knight more times than that though so I suppose I can't say much! If you love a movie, you a love a movie. Watch it 'til your heart is content, man.

I thought Cape Fear was an electrifying and intelligent thrill ride. It's in my top 40 right now, but I may consider putting it higher. I watched the original the day after I saw the remake, and it felt really lackluster to me. The original has no real characters, just sort of slates. Nothing is really explored about how far a man can go, it's just people going to a boat and hiding out, then fighting for a bit and the bad guy gets his commuppance and everyone lived Happily Ever After. End of rant, lol. Have you seen the original CF? Thoughts?

Nah, haven't seen After Earth. Don't really want to, as I honestly have never heard a good word about it.

I'm probably looking forward to Her more, as I've only heard glowing reviews of that, while I've heard a few Lone Survivor reviews that call flag-waving propaganda whatevers.

THE ROBOCOP! How was that completely necessary remake?

Sure, why not? Thoughts on The Departed? That's my favorite Scorsesesese.

King of Comedy is pretty good. It's very prophetic, but in a way that makes it feel a bit lacking when you watch it today, if that makes sense. We get a lot of stuff similar to it nowadays, so it doesn't feel like it goes far enough. DeNiro is excellent in it, though. And Scorsese's cameo! UGHGHGUHG it's de best.

Wow, 12 times for each movie? I've seen them all once! I plan on getting all three of them and watching them some time this year though, fantastic trilogy so it is.

Awesome! Glad you liked it so much, I wasn't sure if it would be to your taste or not.

I actually watched a few movies yesterday that I've been meaning to watch for a while. Brazil, thought it was great - the dazzling set design and visuals being two of my favorite things about it. I also like the whole dystopian setting and I thought it captured it very uniquely. Another one I watched was Possession, I didn't give it any stars on Letterboxd but not because I disliked it, rather I didn't really have a clue what to give it. It's a crazy movie that I'd recommend simply because it's like nothing I've seen before.

A few that I'm looking to check out soon would be 'Paris, Texas', 'The Wages of Fear' and 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I'm not sure how soon I'll get watching them but they are three that I'm looking forward to seeing. If 'Her' comes out anytime soon near me, I'll be seeing it also.

You got anything you want to check out soon?

I decided to give Possession four stars, the more I think of it the more I like it. I like your thinking though in regards to ratings, I think I'll do that any more with ones I'm unsure about :)

To Kill a Mockingbird is on television this week, so I should get seeing it as long as I don't forget!

Nope. Still isn't out in the cinema's near me, should be this week I hope. I'll let you know when I see it anyway :)

Lone Survivor I liked. The action was visceral and well directed and each bullet felt like like it did damage. The soldier's actually felt human and vulnerable which was good. I had a problem with some of the decision-making and the enemies felt like nothing more than targets which was a little disappointing but not surprising.

3:10 to Yuma was very good I thought, properly entertaining and it had that authentic western feel to it. Crowe and Bale were very good but I thought Ben Foster played the most interesting character and kinda stole every scene he was in. The only problem I had was the ending, Crowe's character demonstrated some cold-blooded shit throughout the film so I didn't fully buy his humanity near the end. I know it was hinted at through the film but I still didn't really buy it. Despite that, it was still a hell of a time, very entertaining.

Speaking of Westerns, would you like to tell me some of your favorites?

Cinema Paradiso was brought back into theaters a few months ago for its 25th anniversary. Unfortunatley I missed it, but I may pick it up on DVD pretty soon.

A Serious Man was great. I love them Coens. I thought it was really well-written, and it probably the second-Coeneist movie I've seen after Llewyn Davis. Do you like it?

City Lights . . . Eh. It was quite funny, but one of the all-time greats? I dunno. It's the first first proper silent film I've seen (Does the Artist count?) and I suppose they weren't really going for FIght Club or Kane or something.

Yeah, it actually took me an embarrassingly long time to recognize him. In fact, I had to google him after watching 3:10 to Yuma and when I saw Lone Survivor come up I couldn't believe I didn't make that connection.

The Good the Bad and the Ugly is incredible, the standoff at the end is an example of a perfectly executed scene in my opinion. I love The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, some of the best cinematography I've ever seen. I also think the Coens True Grit is fantastic, everything comes together so brilliantly in it. Some people don't get the love, and that's cool, but I also thought The Searchers was a brilliant film. I need to give it another watch since I only seen it the one time but I remember it being very distinctive and engrossing from start to finish. I'll check out Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance soon hopefully. TMWSLV was actually on my Netflix list but it's left Netflix now, disappointed I never got watching it in time.

I'd say Netflix and blu ray, Possession, The Orphanage and A Prophet being the most recent purchases. I've got a lot of blu rays/dvds that I've still yet to watch, I've got a real habit of buying a box set or a few films and not watching them for ages. I also find it hard to resist buying a few Criterion's whenever there's a sale, their transfers and extras are usually great. The region lock is the only downside to them, but I've got a region free blu ray player so it's all good.

Didn't really care for it to be honest. Didn't do anything fresh, wasn't as funny or clever as it thought it was. Rashida Jones has her charms though, she was the only positive in the movie for me.

I see that you watched Where the Wild Things Are recently, how was it? I'd like to watch it before I see Her.

Here's the review I had previously posted on Kate's page. Sorry if it feels like I'm not talking to you the way I talk to you, like if I'm being too nice or something.
Monuments Men isn't very good, unfortunately. It has all these fantastic actors and does nothing with any of them. They made Bill Murray and John Goodman bland. HOW CAN YOU MAKE BILL MURRAY AND JOHN GOODMAN BLAND?! The film felt like a lot of repetitive filler, though. Just a series of situations that would happen in war films in-between the important stuff. But this movie never gets to the important stuff. It's quite Love Actually-esue in that respect (Lots of characters fumbling around it interchangable groups we don't care about doing four tweaked drafts of the same story) I like seeing Jean Dujardin in the film, but when a certain thing happens to his character (NO SPOILERS) I was taken aback momentarily. Soon after I realised that this was not because I cared about his character, but just because I liked Jean Dujardin in The Aritst. In fact, shortly after characters died I forgot anything that they had done beforehand, and why exactly every other character cared about them, since they had little to no interaction beforehand.
The film also feels a bit unsure with what it wants to be, it has occasional scenes of the true horrors of war, but then we see "Ol' Bawston Matt Damon being silly with the Cloon yuk yuk yuk" and it leaves for a very jarring and unsubtle experience.
There were a few things I liked however. Bill Murray has a scene where the camera is locked onto his face for a solid three-minutes (one of the few creative fourishes in Clooney's direction present) and we see him acting his ass off. It's really quite beautiful, to tell the truth, even if we don't care.
And Cate Blanchett. Oh my gosh. She can do no wrong. I suppose she stuck out to me because she's the only one playing a character, and not a quip-delivering version of herself. She does a French accent and has a few very emotional scenes in which she delivers some fantastic work. How is it that I have only found out about her after seeing Blue Jasmine?! Looking back on The Aviator and Lord of the Rings and Life Aquatic, she's really becoming one of my favorite actresses.

LEGO MOVIE! It's great. I love the fuck out of it. I've thought that Phil Lord and Chris Miller were genius filmmakers ever since Cloudy, and I'm glad to see that they're getting their just desserts from critics and audiences for this. And the ending. The ending is the best thing that has ever happened. It's amazing. The whole film has this great sense of humor that could not have existed ten years ago. It's so postmodern. And Batman. Motherfucking Batman kicks so much ass. He's an actual character, not just a charicature of what we would expect from the Nolan/Burton films. This was my ultimate film experience if I were like 9 or 10. Every kid should see it, I think. It encourages creative thinking and intelligent writing so much, I'm sure that it will birth many exciting new filmmakers in the decades to come.

Don't have anything specific planned for filmmaking in the future, but I'll probably end up doing something creative down the road, as it's only of the only things I'm really good at.

I need to rewatch 21 Jump Street again, but I remember really liking it the first time around. I'm super hyped for the sequel though. Any thoughts on that?

I thought that all of the Oscar Wins were deserved. 12 Years a Slave was the most deserving film, I guess, but I wouldn't necessarily call it the best. Still glad it won though.
I wasn't too big into Ellen. She's alright I guess, but a lot of it fept like she wasn't really trying all that hard.
CATE BLANCHETT AND MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY IS THE BEST.

I may have to wait for the Blu Ray unfortunately. I'll remember to give you my thought on it whenever I get round to it though.

I really enjoyed This is Spinal Tap. I kinda want to watch it again though, I think I could appreciate it more on a re-watch. As it is though I thought there were plenty of hilarious scenes but it just wasn't as consistently funny as I'd hoped. Definitely one I'd want to watch again though, some scenes I appreciate more when thinking about it afterwards.

Not too excited for Dumb & Dumber To as I haven't seen the first. However, I do feel that 2014 is going to be a much better year for movies than 2013. The Lego Movie and The Grand Budapest Hotel have both proved great successes for me, and I'm super pumped for The Double, The Stag, Calvary, Guardians of the Galaxy, Godzilla, 22 Jump Street, etc. Heard of any of these? Pumped for any of these?

I tried to get into Wolf of Wall Street a while back but was refused admission for being underaged. So I'll have to wait until DVD I suppose.

I was so glad that McConaughey won. It's a great representation of how far his career has come as of late. And his speech was great. Loved it. I would have been glad if any of them had won though, with the exception of Christian Bale as he obviously deserved it the least.

I've only seen two of Kubrick films, those being Lolita and Dr. Strangelove. I thought Lolita was a great piece of filmmaking, and I really loved how it subtly scewed the censors with lots of sandwich innuendo "It's full of mayonnaise, just how you like it!" That was really creative. Also Peter Sellers was fantastic. Love that dude. Need to see him in more stuff. The ending was really clever as well. I bought it as a part of a Kubrick box set which also included 2001, Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut. Gonna try and watch them in order of release. Thoughts?

*****SORTA SPOILERS FOR THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL*****
Apparently the graphic designer for The Grand Budapest Hotel was a frequent attendee of my local cinema, so she sent a bunch of the props to the cinema to be put of display for a week! There was the will, Jeff Goldblums murder note with the six fingerprints, the menus from the dinmer scene, the book from the opening, Zero's workers visa, Agathas passport, the boxes from Mendl's, Willem Dafoe's card and the bloody telagram. One of the coolest film going experiences I've ever had, seeing the actual props used before and after my screening.
******SORTA SPOILERS FOR THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL*****

So yeah. That's that. It also entered my Top 25 after my first viewing, which cannot be said of many films. It's my second favorite Wes Anderson film right now, with Fantastic Mr. Fox being my number one. But that may change after repeat viewings.

What aee your thoughts, buddy?

Yep, Ralph Finnes had the best performance in The Grand Budapest. Such am amazing comedic actor. I trust you've seen him in In Bruges?

I came into The Lincoln Lawyer about twenty minutes in, so I may not have got the full experience, but from what I saw it was a riveting piece of filmmaking with a great central performance from Matthew McConaughey. Such a great dude. Pumped for Interstellar?

And . . . I've officially been on Flickchart a full year. Yay for me!

I don't really have a list, per se, but I'm really looking forward to Calvary, John Michael McDonagh and Brendan Gleeson's follow-up to The Guard. And 22 Jump Street. And The Double, directed by Richard Ayoade, Godzilla could be great, would be real nice to see Cranston playing an interesting character again. Thoughts on any of these films?
I'm also pumped for Interstellar and Guardians, but (come close, shh) . . . I've never seen an X-men film.

Sesevenen? I might pick it up the next time I'm out DVD shopping. My laptop's screwed up, so I can't Putlocker it. I trust you would recommend it?

I'd say you'd really like Calvary if you checked it out. Tbe trailers are amazing. Have you seen The Guard, the director's previous collaboration with Brendan Gleeson?

Speaking of Irish films, I say a very funny one today called The Stag. It's about an OCD metrosexual groom being forced to go on a "nature walk" that ends up going arwy so he can stop obsessing over wddding plans. Hilarious and emotional events ensue and a lot of bare man-ass, if you don't mind that sort of thing. Andrew Scott (Moriarty from Sherlock) takes the lead role as best man, in which I think he gives a better performance than he ever has as Moriarty. And I love him as Moriarty! It seems like a commercial enough film to get a wider release sometime, so keep your eyes open for it. It's definitely worth a watch.

MUPPETS!!!!! Was it good?

Nah, Calvary isn't on Netflix. It premiered at an Irish film festival in February, and is getting a full release here sometime in April. I would assume it may get a limited Canadian release sometime this year, seeing as how successful The Guard was. Get you're eyes open for it.

I love The Muppets. Such a great movie, my secind favourite Muppets film, after the 1979 Muppet Movie. I love it so much despite the obvious flaws present in the script, it's just such an emotional experience that you have to push that critical side of yourself to the side and just let the tears flow.
Really glad that you liked the sequel. I plan to see it this weekend, super excited for it.

Is Muppets Most Wanted your 3rd favorite of 2014 so far? I just want to make sure we'll have the exact same top 3 after seeing it!

Cool. I'm pumped for Cap 2 now. I also like how they aren't just calling the Marvel movies "Thor 2" or "Avengers 2" anymore. It's far more memorable that way. I'd say that Marvels strategy is pretty amazing right now. Really love how they're bringing up autuers like Edgar Wright for theor new projects. Am I the only one that thinks Phil Lord and Chris Miller would be the perfect choice for a team-up film? They know how to balance character arcs really fucking well.

2001? It's the best. I love it. Beautiful. Intelligent. Emotional. I love how much confidence Kubrick has in his audience. I nearly cried when Hal died. I'd also love to hear your interpretation on the ending.
Have you seen Rob Ager's video on 2001? That guys a fucking genius.

Hmm, I'm not sure actually! It's nothing compared to a lot of folks but I'd say around 200 maybe? I might give them a count to give you a proper answer. Do you know how many you own yourself? :)

Like Crazy was wholly unimpressive in my opinion. I heard some good things so it was very disappointing. Anton Yelchin was a bit of a charisma vacuum, something I didn't see coming since I actually enjoyed the Fright Night remake and him in it.

The Grand Budapest was great! It wasn't as funny as I was hoping but it made up for that so much in how it was presented. Immaculately framed and wonderfully colorful, it was a joy to watch!

Scarlett Johansson? I'm conflicted. She's a decent actress I suppose. And her body? Let's just say that interrogation scene in the Avengers was the only part of the film I was a bit hard on (badoomtish). But I'm not sure how much support I should give her after she chose to abandon her participation in Oxfam to promote a Sodastream ad campaign in which she promoted a product made in illegal Palestinean factories. Charlie Brooker has a short video on the subject if you're interested. Just look up "Scarlett Johansson, Sodastream and Oxfam - Weekly Wipe"

That said, I'm still intrigues to see Under the Skin and Cap 2. I guess that makes me a hypocrite, though. Ah well. I heard that some of the scenes in Under the Skin feature real non-acting Scotts who didn't recognise Scarlett? Is this noticable? Did you know this before you saw the film? Does it add to the experience?

Jason Bateman's cool. I adore Arrested Development and really enjoyed Extract. But in those he's playing the kinda reservsd character, which I've heard is not in the same ball park as his Bad Santa-esque character in Bad Words? Does he pull it off? Were you able to get Michael Bluth out of your head while watching it?

That's a cool list, man. Nice mix of Indie and Mainstream films.

Nah, laptop isn't fixed yet, but feel free to make any recommendations you wish! :)

Nope, haven't seen any of Kurosawa's work. Might start tonight, though, if things go well. Might srart with Ikiru, as it's at the top of my List O' Shame.

I really liked The Winter Soldier! It reminded me a lot of Skyfall, as it was a really fun, intense yet thematically resonant action movie. I wasn't a fan of the first, but now I can safely say it; I love the character of Steve Rogers. He's the closest thing we have to a TRUE onscreen superhero. He doesn't brood, he doesn't moan, he doesn't squint jnto tge distance and scream about destiny; he just does what he does. And that's really refreshing.
I really liked how they made a socially-conscious film with the character, as that just seems like the logical next step to take him to.
*******SPOILERS FROM HERE ON OUT PLAYA*********
And SHIELD being a Nazi hub the whole time? HOLY SHIT! That's one of the coolest ideas I've seen in a superhero film. It honestly took me by surprise, as I never thought they would go so far as to destroy the introductory piece to the MCU puzzle. I hope they ditch the name for a while a d stick to the CIA hub that we saw at the end. That would really make the movie more impactful on the universe.

CALVARY! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. If you don't mind my asking, how did you get ahold of it? Is it screening in Canada?
Any particular thoughts on the film?

The Shining was excellent. A great Kubrick movie. Jack Nocholson was fantastic, everyone was fantastic. I wasn't that scared by it, although I had to skip through that scene in the Room 237 bathroom. Ahhhhh!!!!
Theories? Well, I watched that Room 237 documentary. A lot of it is complete bullshit, but I see a lot of sense to the Native American theory, and the Holocaust one to a lesser extent. Your theories?
I'd put it above Lolita and Barry Lyndon, but below 2001, Strangelove, Clockwork Orange, Paths of Glory and Full Metal Jacket.

Yojimbo was a pretty good Western, Irkiru was a riveting masterpiece. Really well-made. Kurosawa's films haven't aged a day. The energy in his direction is unrivalled for his time.

Hannah and Her Sisters? Thoughts?

Calvary is number 16 on my chart. I absolutely adore it. It's one of the most powerful, daring and raw films I've seen in a long time. I love how John Michael McDonagh is exploring the Western with these Brendan Gleeson films. Have you heard about his next film with Brendan Gleeson? It features Brendan as a paraplegic who only associates with other paraplegic, who, when his best friend is murdered, has to find the killer in the streets of South London. It sounds promising!
The film just has so many great scenes as well! Dylan Moran's scenes were fantastic, Domnhaill Gleeson was amazing and Chris O'Dowd. Man. Would you call it his best performance thus far? Cause I sure would.
Who do you think (SPOILERS) killed James' dog? I have a few theories on the subject, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.
And that scene with the little girl. HOLY SHIT. Shook me deep down.

**********SPOILERS FOR THE SHINING**********
That's an interesting theory. The way the house's winding corridors mirror the maze could give a deeper level to those ideas. Maybe it represents Jack's descent further into the hotel the more insane and raving he becomes, constantly chasing Danny from the start, as he abused him before they originally moved there. Thoughts on these thoughts?
**********SPOILERS FOR THE SHINING**********

Full Metal Jacket is really damn good. Here's how I rank my Kubricks, for scale.
1. Strangelove
2. 2001
3. Clockwork
4. Full Metal Jacket
5. Paths of Glory
6. The Shining
7. Barry Lyndon
8. Lolita

Haha, twice a month? That's mad! Are you sick of it now after seeing it so many times?

I can't be tired if I want to watch a Kubrick film. My brain needs to be awake and functioning, as I can tell Kubrick is working on very deep levels, waiting for them to be unravelled.

I really loved the Wolf of Wall Street. I felt it closest to Raging Bull out of Scorsese's filmography, but it does stand on it's own as an independent work. Scorsese is quite a sick old man, isn't he? I get great laughter from imagining him on the sidelines during all the orgy scenes, staring intently calculating how best to film Jonah Hill wanking. A very funny film, well-made if a bit too long (some scenes felt unneccessary) but overall, Scorsese is definitely the best-evolving of the original movie brats, wouldn't you think?

I honestly can't wait for 22 Jump Street. I think it's so cool that Lord and Miller have two films coming out a mere 4 months from each other! I hope 22 doesn't disappoint, but I have a lot of faith in them at this point. They seem to deliberately choose difficult material to adapt.

Spartacus isn't all that great. It's missing the soul of all of Kubrick's other films, and I suppose there's a good reason for it. It's more Kirk Douglas' film, as Kubrick was only brought in on a whim after the original director was sacked by Douglas. It's very commercial and unchallenging, but still decent, I suppose.

Darjeeling Limited is really cool, if not a bit too quirky for it's own good. All performances are excellent and the film's style rocks my socks. Anderson is the best. He's a gangsta, son. Have you seen it? Do you like it?

I'm seeing 22 Jump Street next Wednesday, hopefully!

Here's how I rank my Andersons:
1. Fantastic Mr. Fox
2. The Grand Budapest Hotel
3. Moonrise Kingdom
4. The Royal Tenenbaums
5. The Darjeeling Limited
6. Rushmore
7. The Life Aquatic
8. Bottle Rocket
I think Rushmore and Life Aquatic may get pumped up at rewatches. But yeah, Darjeeling is in the top 5. How do you rank Wes?

At this point, my most anticipated film for the rest of the year is Guardians of the Galaxy. How about you?

Ah, yes. Gone Girl. Haven't read the book, but I eagerly await the film. I hope Ben Affleck is good in it, he hasn't done anything since Argo that really stood out as reaching that potential.

And I saw 22 Jump Street. Oh my gosh. Lord and Miller are easily the two most daring and intelligent new filmmakers of our age. It was easily the most meta movie I've ever seen, but it ever used it self-aware nature as an excuse to make a throwaway film like many self-aware comedy sequels. It instead used it as a way to dissect what sequels are at their core, and the nature of being the same and being different. I can see Lord and Miller's visual style developing film by film, and this one is especially gorgeous, as American comedies go. I see it as an excellent film worthy of analysis, something that cannot be said about most sequels to reboots of 80's TV shows :)

I found the reveal to be pretty surprising, yeah! It didn't stick out that much to me because Lord and Miller's films are always stuffed full of surprises like that. I liked how they advertised the movie as being the same thing "again" but then they turn it all on it's head with that twist.

I loved that scene! My favorite line in the entire movie was probably when Jonah Hill said "Yeah, get him a drink! He's black, he's been through a lot."

Holy cow, did you catch the Annie Hall references?! I was watching it with my friends, who had never seen Annie Hall, and I must have been the only person in the theatre laughing at that! Did you notice it?

It probably had the greatest end credits of any film ever. Oh golly. How excellent.

I really liked how the theme of twins ran through the film. The characters are first introduced to the twins when their enter their dorms, and they do that funny "buy me a Coke" thing. Schmidt and Jenko want to be like the twins, like how, at that point, the movie wants to be a twin to 21 Jump Street. Then when Jenko meets Zook, he becomes his twin, so to speak. At that point, the movie IS the twin to 21 Jump Street. Everything is happening the exact same way. Then, at Spring Break, Jenko is faced with Ghost's henchmen; the twins. Jenko beat them up with a bikini-clad girl (In one of the funniest action scenes in the history of cinema) He is litteraly fighting against the concept of being the exact same as something else. At this point, the movie has revealed it's big twist; that it is not the same as the first one. Thoughts on this theory?

I went on a weekday matinee showing, so there wasn't a massive crowd there. But they laughhed and all the funny parts, and stayed quiet for the rest. A good theater experience, which surprised me as the theater I saw it in has led to many talky teenagers in the corners ruining the movie.

The bit at the start where it says PREVIOUSLY ON 21 JUMP STREET, you see Schmidt and Jenko playing with the lobsters,and then Jenko does the same with Zook later on, to lesser effect. That is a direct refernece to these scenes in Annie Hall: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWtgUq9mfx0"

It's cool man, no worries! :)

22 Jump Street was hilarious, perhaps even more so than the first one - I'll wait for the re-watch to see how it holds up there! Hill and Tatum are great together, Ice Cube was funny as hell and I loved some of the awkward humor in it.

The Rock I enjoyed much more than I thought I would! I don't really like Michael Bay and that's not an elitist thing; most of his films just aren't for me. Anyway, back to The Rock; I thought Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery played off each other in a cheesy/funny way that worked for me and the whole thing was just really fun.

Yeah, we can talk spoilers for sure!

****** 22 Jump Street Spoilers ******

What I was specifically referring to above when I said 'awkward humor' was the fight at the end between Jonah Hill and the girl. The leaning in for a kiss in the middle of the fight was pretty damn funny! There's plenty of hilarious moments but I'll let you bring some up as I'll just bring up every laugh if I keep going!

Haha!Nope,not a fan of the Transformers movies!The first was okay,but the second is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Taxi Driver was fantastic.I loved it.I can defintely see why it's one of your favorites,I can easily see it being in my Top 10 one day.What do you think of the very last scene?

I'm intrigued by your tactics of rotating theatres. Care to elaborate?

Eh, I kinda hope they don't make a 23 Jump Street. I'd rather see Lord and Miller do something new. Well, new by their standards, which means some 80's property or something.

Chef was really fun! A well-made film with great performances all around. Very personal film from Jon Favreau as well. Very allegorical about his career and whatnot. Also, he wrote Robert Downey Jr. one of the funniest scenes of his career. What did you think of the movie?

How about the masterpiece of cinema that is Transformers 4: Age of Ultron?

I think I've heard of Snowpiercer. Is that the train movie with Hugh Jackman?

Oh yeah, I forgot all about the poetry slam scene, it was hilarious! So many funny moments that it's hard to remember them all.

I only noticed one of the references; the lobster scene. I only realized that because I read it afterwards, never noticed any of the other ones though! I'll check his comment on your page to see the rest of them.

I really liked it. I really appreciate a filmmaker trying to do something different, and Upstream Color is definitely different. I preferred it to Primer, Carruth's other film, mostly because it was more emotionally engaging. It's a difficult one to discuss with people though because it's so difficult to understand what the hell it was all about but it was definitely an interesting experience unlike any other film I know. Have you seen it? What'd you think of it if so?

Also, you've seen Under the Skin haven't you? What was it like? I'm really excited about it from what I've been hearing. Just waiting patiently for the blu-ray to be released!

That's actually a really smart method. I may try that out the next time I pay a visit to the ol' movie house.

No, I am not a fan of the Transformers films. I stopped watching after the first two, and I think the second one is the lowest ranked movie on my chart! :D
So I don't think I'll dig part 4.

How was the Irish guy in Transformers 4? He was in this Irish film called What Richard Did for which he received much acclaim. I trust Michael Bay's direction did not allow him to do as good a job.

Blade Runner was alright. I think I may need to rewatch it, though. I perhaps didn't pay enough attention. I watched the final cut, would other cuts make the film's ideas clearer?

The Matrix was good. Great fight scenes and an excellent premise with great execution. But no, I do not plan to watch the sequels. Would you recommend them?

There is a Director's Cut of Blade Runner. Would you recommend it for rewatching?

Mars Attacks is pretty shit. It's unfocused, bland, unintelligent, and only worth viewing for the sheer absurdity of many of it's scenarios, including the disembodied Pierce Brosnan head and Tom Jones playing himself. Have you seen Mars Attacks? How do you feel about it?

I can definitely understand your reaction to Upstream Color! It teetered on the line between excitingly enigmatic and tediously enigmatic but it was mostly the former for me so it worked overall.

Damn. You're getting me too excited for it! I have to keep my expectations in check! ha I'll report back when I see it. Should be next week :)

Do I have plans on watching Boyhood? Hell yes I do! It's one of my most anticipated of the year. Probably my third most anticipated for the rest of the year behind Interstellar and Inherent Vice. What about you? Plan on seeing it? Excited for it?

Some of my favorite scenes from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest would be the basketball scene, the final scene, and the fishing scene. There really isn't a dull moment in the movie though. :)

As a matter of fact, I just started collecting blu-ray's a few months ago and I now have about 40. I also have about 100 movies on iTunes. There is a store near my house that sells blu-ray's at ridiculously low prices.

What do you have planned to watch next?

Yes, that was a great scene in 22 Jump Street. Cube really stole the show. As far as Caddyshack, I'm 36, so I've been watching it since I was about 8 years old (of course then, I just dug the gopher). It just has a special place in my heart....and it's been in my life for almost 30 years...

Most of the movies that I bought on iTunes were only $9.99, but it is still a lot of money. :)

I have five steelbooks: Lord of The Rings Trilogy, The Shawshank Redemption, and The Departed. I only purchase steelbooks if they are cheap. I got the Lord of the Rings Trilogy at a nearby store for only eight bucks each! Blade Runner is my one and only digibook, however, I am going to get the digibook of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. :)

I loved Dawn of the Planet of the Apes! It was definitely a step-up from Rise. :) One of the best movies I've seen this year.

Do you have a DVD/Blu-Ray collection? If so, do you have and steelbooks or digibooks?

I haven't seen all of Ridley Scott's films, but my favorite as of now would definitely be Alien. An excellent and suspenseful film that had me riveted throughout.
What's your favorite Ridley Scott film?
What do you think of his newer films (Prometheus, The Consuelor, etc.) He seems to be making a movie every year pretty consistantly!

Boyhood looks really amazing! I will definitely try to get out and see it. :)

I completely forgot about Metallica and Guns and Roses! Those bands are great! I really like Green Day too. :)

My favorite director is probably Steven Spielberg. Indiana Jones, Schindler's List, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, E.T., Jurassic Park, and Minority Report. The dude is a beast. :)

I really haven't seen enough Martin Scorsese films to love him as much as you do. I think the only ones I've seen of his are The Departed and Shutter Island (which I love). I just need to see some of his earlier work like, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and Casino before he can top Spielberg.

About Jurassic Park,I had already seen it, I just re-watched it and accidentally removed it when I tried to re-rank it. :) But I will share my thoughts anyway. :) Even for a 90's movie, the special effects are absolutely stunning! I had forgotten how suspenseful some of the scenes are. Especially the T-Rex scene! It's definitely one of Spielberg's best (and that's saying something).

I'm thinking about watching The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford pretty soon. It's looks very good. Brad Pitt is one of my favorite actors, so I'm sure I'll like it. 2007 was a great year for movies!

The reactions to Boyhood on Letterboxd are getting me very excited! I'm happy to hear you loved it. I might not get seeing it until it gets released on Blu-ray though unfortunately. I'll let you know when I see it anyway.

You're very precise with your Blu-ray count! Good collection you have :) I don't know if I got back to you with my count, did I? I remember you asked but I'm not sure if I got counting them and replied to you.

Wasn't a big fan of Youth in Revolt. On another day I might have enjoyed it more but I found it pretty boring and not very funny. It just felt very run of the mill Michael Cera fare y'know. You a fan of it?

2006 - The Departed, Children of Men, Casino Royale, and The Prestige
1995 - The Usual Suspects, Heat, Toy Story, and Braveheart
1994 - Shawshank, Forrest Gump, and The Professional
1993 - Schindler's List, Jurassic Park, and The Fugitive
1975 - Cuckoo's Nest, Jaws, Dog Day Afternoon, and Monty Python

Just a few of my favorite years. :) What are some of your favorite years in film?

I started House of Cards and I've seen a few episodes of The Walking Dead and The Following, but I really don't have a whole lot of time to get invested in a TV show. :) Do you have any favorite TV shows? Any recommendations?

Yeah, I've seen Gladiator. It's alright. Not amazing, and I don't think it's Scott's best. How about you?

My Dad bumped into Oliver Reed. Reed was exiting a hotel and my dad was coming home from college. This was about 1979, I think.

Exidus has Christian Bale and Aaron Paul, right? I'm not really pumped, but I'll probably end up seeing it.

Haven't seen any of Richard Linklater. Would Boyhood be a good introduction to him, or would I be better off checking out Slacker on Netflix?

Princess Bride is okay. I think I'm too old to watch it for the first time. You also kinda have to be in a certain mood, and I didn't really feel it at the time. A rewatch in a better mood might improve it a bit.

I rewatched There Will Be Blood today. It went from the end of my top 200 to the end of my top 40! :D What genuis!

Heart of Darkness was a cool little documentary that gave some pretty cool insights into how the film was made. Have you seen it?

I am a fan of Christopher Nolan. Not a die hard fan, but I enjoy his movies. My favorite film of his is The Dark Knight with Inception in a close second. He is a very solid director and I haven't seen a bad movie from him yet. Hopefully he will keep up the good work. :)

Brothers was an excellent film. Great storyline, solid performances, fantastic screenplay and directing. I really felt I was a part of the situation, which is the sign of a good movie. :)

Thanks for the TV show recommendations. I will get to them eventually. :)

Well, evidently, I thought Boyhood was incredible. I was supposed to get back to you when I seen it wasn't I? Sorry about that. I love how they didn't go down the episodic route of 'age 10' or '2004' every time he aged a year, but rather made references to the year through pop culture; like referencing The Dark Knight, the Kings of Leon being on the radio, little things like that which give you an idea of where we are but not explicitly stating it. By doing that I think it made it a much more immersive experience as it didn't have title cards taking you out of the film by letting you know year/age. The way it manages to touch upon a lot of relatable aspects of growing up without seeming pretentious about it, and making you reflect on a lot of your own decisions/aims in a natural way is what I loved so much about it. The only scene that didn't work for me was the restaurant scene near the end with the waiter, that just felt unnatural/forced and really took me out of the film for a minute. Do you have any thoughts on the film that you'd like to share?

The trip went great! Although the weather could have been better (lots of rain) the atmosphere was great, the environments breathtaking and the people I stayed with were really funny and just great to hang out with.

I haven't really any interest in Let's Be Cops, but the title is excellent. I assume you've seen it by now, how was it?

I plan to watch Harold and Maude in a few days, and I also have a DVD of Silent Running I really want to watch.

You didn't ask about Reservoir Dogs or Death Proof,but I'll talk about them anyway :)

Reservoir Dogs is great.Excellent casting,great direction and most of all,the dialogue is perfection.I've never seen a film where the dialogue is like this,it just feels so natural while at the same time feeling very stylized.It also had a lot of great twists that kept me on the edge of my seat for the entire film.The ending kind od underwhelmed me,but still,all-in-all a fantastic film.

For now,Pulp Fiction is my favorite Tarantino movie, everything about it is just so awesome! Like Reservoir Dogs,the dialogue sucks you into this insane world and keeps you immersed in it.My favorite part was The Bonnie Situation,I think that's what it was called,right? Anyway,the last part.Sam Jaskson is awesome.And Steve Buscemi has the best cameo of all time.

While Jackie Brown is so far my least-favorite of Tarantino,I think it's the best thing he could have done.Most Directors would just make another Pulp Fiction,but he does something completely different.It's my least-favorite just because it's very confusing,but I think I still got the just of it.And I loved that part where Robert DeNiro snaps.You know what I'm talking about :)

Kill Bill is insane! I love how self-aware and over-the-top it was.I think I slightly prefer Part 1,but both are excellent.It would have been interesting to see it as one film since they both have very different tones.Part 1 is an action-packed thrill-ride and the second brings the emotion.

I know Death Proof gets crapped on a lot,and I can see why,but I had a great time with it! So what if there's not much of a story? The car-chase is probably the best I've ever seen in a film and the ending is probably the funniest moment I've seen in any of his films.I would say it's probably his worst film,but I still dig it.

Thoughts on my thoughts?

I'm gonna watch Inglorious Bastards soon,how is it?

The thing about Film Crit Hulk is that he's a little bit hard to get into. He writes really really long articles, and they're all in all caps, which some people find irritating. But if you can get past that and read some of his more lengthy articles, you won't find anyone on the internet that can do what he does better. Trust me, his stuff is superb.

Expendables 3 was crap. Pure crap. Crap crap crap. The thing that annoyed me was that the villain was made to appear evil by not caring about the merits of art, but Stallone expressed this by making a shitty, empty, dumb, cash-grabbing piece-of-poo movie. I didn't like it.

Hey man, I'm conducting somewhat of a survey with what I perceive to be the diehard movie fans on this site.. How long has your #1 movie been your absolute favorite? And do you think it will ever change? How loyal and/or biased are you to that movie? Also, the same questions apply for your top 5 as well as your top 10. Are they pretty much edged in stone on your chart or have your top 5 and/or top 10 changed over the past few years?
